    The basic education system in Myanmar comprises six years of primary school and seven years of secondary school. There are over 47,000 basic education schools across the country serving around 9.26 million students. Educational programs have suffered under successive military regimes since the 1960s, as universities have been closed for extended periods and higher education interrupted for many students. The 1920 Rangoon University Bill established a tertiary education pathway of two years of intermediate study after high school in arts or science, followed by specialization at universities like engineering schools requiring another four years for a degree.

    ACTIVITY # 10. EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN MYANMAR


    1. What comprises the basic education system in Myanmar?
    Answer:
    The current basic education system in Myanmar comprises six years of primary
    (Grade 1 to Grade 6), three years of lower secondary (Grade 7 to Grade 9) and two years of
    upper secondary (Grade 10 and Grade 11) education. There are currently 47, 365 basic
    education schools in Myanmar with approximately 9.26 million students. The majority of
    these schools are managed by the Department of Basic Education under the Ministry of
    Education (MOE).
    2. Why do educational programs suffer under the military regime in Myanmar?
    Answer:
    Educational programs have suffered under the military regimes. Since the coups
    of 1962 and 1988, universities have been closed for extended periods—sometimes years
    at a time—to prevent student disturbances. As a result, the higher education of most
    students has been interrupted and prolonged over many years, and there is an immense
    backlog of secondary-school graduates waiting to enroll at universities. The official
    education system has been supplemented by a large number of privately operated tutoring
    programs designed to make up for public-school deficiencies.
    3. Briefly discuss the Rangoon University Bill and its relationship with the Tertiary
    Education System.
    Answer:

    The Rangoon University Bill was enacted in 1920. In Tertiary Education System,
    after high school, a student had to attend for 2 years either Intermediate Arts (I.A.) or
    Intermediate Science (I.Sc.) course at the university, depending on the Arts or Science
    Subject Combination chosen by the student.
    After I.A and I.Sc, Students could select to attend Arts and Science University or
    any other Professional Universities such as Technological University, Medical
    University, Economic University etc., according to their interest and marks attained in
    their I.A. and I.Sc. courses
    After I.Sc., those who wanted to become engineers could apply for engineering
    specialization at the Faculty of Engineering which required another 4 years to earn B.Sc.
    (Engg.) Degree.
