Arriving Israel is my first time so I felt strange feeling. we strated our trip on 22nd November 2015 at 7:55 pm from Yangon to Bangkok and then continued to Tel Aviv at 12:05 am from Bangkok and Arrived Tel Aviv at 9:30 am Israeli time. In Israel there are mayy impressive views as well as uniquethings for us. Especially MASHV group is unque. They took care everything for the participants. We got international knowledge wuch as educationa system, socialization, traditional ways, cultural knowledge and developed civization.
We can adopt good things which are suitable for our country needs and wants. After that we can implement other countrys' educational knowledge in our teaching learning situation to upgrade our education system. It will aid our educational reforms. We need such experiences in order to improve our education system. I heard that the constantly changing in Education is the "Change". Thus, we need to change or exchange based on other foreign teaching learning strategies.
Due to the "Cultural Exhibition" we had a chanve to present about our countr's nature, culture, socio economic system, education system, national races and population. From the professional visit, we got the most valuable precious things like interesting teaching aids, class size, teacher- pupil-parent relationships etc. I have already shared this knowledge in my
college. My students are really satisfied with my presentation. I can implement in my lesson on how to use or how to make teaching aids by showing teaching aids from Israel and the classroom design and decoration. This is very effective for all of us. Soon I will share among my peer who are heads of schools about the Israeli education system. I intend to implement in their schools.
From tour to holy places, we gained and regcognised the heritage of Israel. Travelling to Sea of Galile, Jordan River, Mediterranean Sea and Dead Sea is the pleasant time of my life. We would like to say thanh you very very much to Israel beacuse we can apply suitable ways to build a modern developmed nation through knowledge from the experience of Israel.
I came back to Myanmar on 16th December 2014 but I will always miss the days of my staying and learning in Israel.
