Children, Education and Democracy: Three Pillars of Hope for Burmese Refugees Living in Thailand.

Drs. Jeannie Steele & Kurt Meredith of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction will make a presentation on their work with Burmese refugees in Thailand.

Drs. Steele & Meredith have been engaged in training teachers in Burmese refugee camps in methods of teaching, reading and writing for critical thinking.

This work, closely related to their long history of international literacy education efforts in Slovakia and other Eastern European and Asian nations, has afforded them a unique perspective on the critical needs of this indigent group.
