notIt cost lots of money, it has never been used and no keep in touch. So, we would try not only to know about lessons also to keep in touch. In addition, some of the majors couldn't really be done with online learning because they have equations, theories, mathematical expressions and also logical problems.

don’t like or not too bad for online learning. The important issue is that some people can’t interested in these questions or don’t know how to answer digital survey form. It is unfamiliar with digital survey form or can’t be made untrusted link or can’t motivate on digital learning. The most important challenge for students is internet access. Free Wifi or Free Internet access or supporting to internet bills can help students. They didn’t charge on internet bills that they think that it is extra money for their daily cost also electricity problem.
Some parents can give good learning environment who live in town or city. Some students comes from villages and rural area. Our institute always give fair chances to all students from anywhere in Myanmar to attend and entrance to our institute, GTI Insein. When examinations are postponed, students return to back their native town or village and stay at home. Therefore, motivation on distance learning of students that comes from countryside should be try in order to continue their lifelong learning within COVID19 pandemic.
Furthermore, our institute will carry on setting up for E-learning platform as like Moodle Web Server in order to upgrade teachers’ formal lecture and demonstration to digital lessons with E-learning tools and environment.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) worldwide due to the closure of TVET institutions and training centers and the limitations of social distancing, making it difficult to arrange training and employment for youths. Currently, to promote the TVET sector, youth employment, and continued learning in Myanmar during the pandemic, a digital learning management system has been introduced in TVET institutions for regular full-time students and adult learners. Additionally, digital campuses and IT infrastructure, including affordable access to computers/laptops and the internet for teachers, have been established. Furthermore, digital learning content related to TVET programs is being made available via the Myanmar Digital Education Platform.
This study aims to highlight the implemented TVET activities for youth employment across Myanmar during the pandemic and after. To achieve this aim, we collected, synthesized, analyzed, and evaluated the data on the TVET programs and implemented activities in Myanmar, based on previous literature and reports. Based on the analysis, we have specified the major human resource development activities being implemented for youth employment in Myanmar during the pandemic and after
—the national COVID-19 response and recovery plan, a digital learning management system, capacity building of teachers and trainers, school management training, training via blended teaching-and-learning methods, preparation for the reopening of schools, etc. Moreover, a comparison between the regular and new approach in the TVET sector for youth employment in Myanmar is also presented. Finally, along with the descriptions of challenges and opportunities related to the TVET sector, the
