We believe that in order to make positive changes in the society, the first and foremost step to take is to enrich oneself with extensive knowledge about one’s mother country and its people. Therefore, it is our job to make sure that Brainworks-Total students learn about and experience these communities while they are with us and go on to bring about a brighter Myanmar in the future. While we corporate the best modern educational methodologies in our curriculum, we also make sure to highlight the importance of students’ own language and culture.

As we like to say, an international approach with local applicability makes our syllabuses enjoyable and accessible. Being Myanmar, and learning about Myanmar, is a major centerpiece of our academy’s mission. Our branches are proud members of the surrounding communities, and we rely on these areas to provide a deeper learning experience for our students. We believe that the more we understand about Myanmar, the greater students are able to make connections between the academic content from their classes and how this relates to their local realities.

Most people are all familiar with the term “Brain Drain“ which denotes the problem of talented professionals leaving their countries of origins in order to apply their trade overseas. At Brainworks – Total, we hope to do our part to encourage the opposite: a “Brain Gain“ whereby students take the best the world has to offer, and then bring these lessons back to share with their local communities. This is already taking place through the methodology, training programs, and extra-curricular activities being offered at our school and these are tried and trusted recipes from other contexts that we have modified to fit our local surroundings.

The process continues as our students advance to attend top schools abroad. With this enhanced experience and education, they will be in a prime position to return to their native land and use their skills to enrich their local communities. However, for this to happen, it is important that students develop an awareness and understanding of the communities around them, and that this process starts from a very young age. For this reason, at Brainworks – Total their studies are not only limited to core academic content; we add a multi-dimensional experience that connects them to their surroundings.

To help bring about a brighter Myanmar for the future, we believe that it is important for our doors to open as wide as possible. Myanmar is blessed with a great diversity amongst its people, and we want to do our part to ensure that as many of them as possible can benefit from our community.
