Tenders are invited for Video Development for E-Learning Courses in Service Teachers. Closing Date: 12 Oct 2025 Type: Consultancy Background: UNESCO works to ensure that the most marginalized children, including those who are out-of-school or at risk of dropping out, gain access to quality learning opportunities. These opportunities are crucial for them to acquire relevant skills, build resilience, continue their education, and enhance their overall well-being. Through the Global Partnership for Education- Education Sector Programme Implementation Grant (GPE-ESPIG) programme, it addresses three key components: Access: The program focuses on facilitating safe and equitable access to learning for children and youth in Myanmar. Quality: The program aims to ensure quality teaching and learning experiences for children and youth in Myanmar. This involves strengthening the capacities of education personnel and fostering context-responsive, equity-focused learning resources and modalities that adapt to the evolving situation. System Strengthening: The program places emphasis on strengthening systems, management, coordination, and monitoring related to education in Myanmar. UNESCO, through the Education Sector Program Implementation Grant (ESPIG) project, continues this effort addressing the needs for both pre-and in-service teacher education under ESPIG Outcome Area 2: Ensuring quality teaching and learning for children and youths in Myanmar by strengthening the capacities of education staff and fostering context-responsive, equity-focused learning resources and modalities adapted to the evolving situation. Recognising the growing needs for education, UNESCO brings Myanmar Teacher Platform (MTP; www.mmteacherplatform.net) to offer continuous learning for educators, learners and other interested parties to access quality learning materials, videos and other resources in a safe and secure environment and provide online courses by themes. As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting teacher professional development opportunities, a series of courses related to climate change education, disaster risk reduction, safe schools, and gender transformative education are being development to promote awareness and highlight the importance those issues in conflict settings. The key objective is to equip teachers both content and pedagogical knowledge, enabling them to foster safer, more resilient, and supportive learning environments. After completing these courses, teachers will gain foundational knowledge on climate change, disaster risk reduction, safe school practices, and strategies to integrate these topics into daily teaching, using inclusive, participatory, and context-sensitive methods to enhance classroom practice. As such, UNESCO is now seeking a qualified company or organization to create high-quality explainer videos, which are part of e-learning courses development, for educators to become more informed, proactive and resilient in fragile context. These online courses will be uploaded on MTP to make available to educators across Myanmar and they should be interactive, pedagogically sound, and aligned with MTP technical and instructional standards.
