from Myanmar article

Education has suffered under the military regime, mainly as because of the government's disproportionate expenditure on the military. According to the UN, the government spends 222% more on the military than on both education and health.[1] Education that is available is in Burmese or English.[1] There is little or no formal education in minority languages. After pro-democracy student-led demonstrations in 1988, the ruling military junta forced the closure of all universities in Myanmar for several years.[2] The government then began to open new universities in the suburbs and rural areas of Mandalay and Yangon dispersing students to several campuses in order to prevent major unrest at centralised locations.

The University of Rangoon was once the most prestigious of all universities in Southeast Asia. Formed as Rangoon College, an associate college of the University of Calcutta, its merger with the former Judson College, founded the University of Rangoon. With the advent of military rule in the 1960s, the university was renamed Rangoon Arts and Sciences University and lost its prestige.[3]

Does not reflect Education in Myamar comprehensively

This article seems to imply that education in Myanmar is soley run by the MoE, but there are multiple private school as well as more importantly different educational departments such as the Karen Education Department for one. Kachin also have a seperate education system as does Mon. Looking for suggestions on how to improve this article to reflect this, or to redirect this page as it is to Ministry of Education (Myanmar)Egaoblai (talk) 12:57, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
