About the centre
Established in 1999 with preschool classes, Skills Development Education Centre (SDEC) has grown into one of Myanmar’s leading international schools, trusted by parents for its commitment to quality education. Today, SDEC offers preschool, primary, and secondary programmes, supported by highly qualified and experienced teachers.
In addition to its core curriculum, SDEC provides Summer Classes for English Proficiency, as well as IGCSE and IAL Exam Preparation. The school follows a UK-based curriculum, complemented by textbooks from leading publishers in the UK, Singapore, and the USA, along with self-developed resources tailored to the local context.
Mission to Empower Students with High-Quality Education
Driven by a mission to provide students with academic excellence in a wholesome environment rooted in cultural values, SDEC nurtures not only academic achievement but also social, physical, artistic, and ethical development. With a strong emphasis on 21st-century skills, SDEC prepares students to thrive as competent, responsible global citizens.
Vision for the Future
CEO Dr. Min Lwin Soe highlighted: “At SDEC International School, our mission has always been to empower students with high-quality, globally relevant education while nurturing them to become competent, responsible, and ethical citizens of Myanmar and the world. Partnering with NCC Education is a natural step forward in this journey. Such a partnership will enable us to build on our already solid academic excellence with internationally recognized pathways, preparing our students with the knowledge, skills, and qualifications necessary to succeed in our constantly evolving global society. With this collaboration, we aspire to offer our learners even more opportunities to pursue higher education, career readiness, and holistic development, while staying rooted in our cultural values and commitment to developing globally competitive Myanmar citizens.”
We are honoured to welcome SDEC International School into our global network of partner centres. SDEC’s commitment to nurturing responsible, ethical, and globally competent citizens resonates deeply with our own mission to open doors to brighter futures through education.
This partnership represents more than academic pathways – it is a shared vision of empowering students with world-class qualifications while remaining rooted in cultural values. By combining SDEC’s strong foundation in quality education with our internationally recognised programmes, we are confident that students in Myanmar will gain the skills, opportunities, and confidence they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Offering Level 3 International Foundation Diploma for Higher Education Studies (L3IFDHES), we hope students in SDEC will gain the confidence, skills, and internationally recognised qualifications needed to progress to universities worldwide and achieve their academic and career aspirations.
Together, we look forward to supporting the next generation of learners as they pursue higher education, career readiness, and lifelong success.
