MOFA: About Myanmar: Education

“Every school-age child in school” and “education for all” are the mottoes which guide Myanmar’s educational efforts. In order to catch up with the information age all high schools and even primary schools are being equipped with computers to help students become familiar with electronic media. A complementary approach in education is to develop a healthy moral mind in a healthy active body. Schools train pupils in moral and social behaviour. As a further support toward this goal monastic schools have been revied.
