Learning in Myanmar

School education follows Basic Education from Kindergarten through Grade 12. Primary, middle and high school stages may be offered by one institution, while attendance and access differ according to school type, location, conflict, displacement and disasters. Occupational learning includes formal Technical and Vocational Education and Training, shorter skills courses and workplace learning; Myanmar does not have one unified nationwide dual system. Higher education takes place at authorized universities, degree colleges, colleges and specialized institutes through regular campus study or distance education. Language learning covers Myanmar, also called Burmese, English, ethnic languages and additional foreign languages through schools, universities, public institutions, private centres and international providers. Upskilling can come from government programmes, employers, universities, private institutions, NGOs, ethnic organisations, monastic groups and community providers. When comparing a pathway, check the provider, admission or participation conditions, duration, fees, attendance requirements, assessment method, certificate value and possible progression.
