Abstract: This article suggests that creating school–university partnerships is a powerful educational development tool not only in highly developed systems but also in low‐income contexts. Using the example of Myanmar, it presents these partnerships as a multi‐functional tool. This tool supports seven functional areas: teacher learning and professional development, educational research, school improvement, university improvement, curriculum design and reform implementation, generating and spreading educational innovations, and enhancing participation and social dialogue. The article also suggests that international development organizations should consider the creation of school–university cooperation as an effective form of intervention in contexts of underdevelopment.
