OMLAS Experience: “OMLAS broadened my regional perspective by connecting me with changemakers across South Asia. It strengthened my professional network, deepened my understanding of shared challenges in education and development, and exposed me to innovative solutions. This comparative learning enabled me to reflect critically on my own context and adapt best practices to improve impact on the ground.”
