Education in Burma
Schools & universities were shut for seven out of ten years between 1988-98.

The role of students and students' unions played a vital role in 1988 Democracy Movement. After the military had brutally crushed the people's uprising, they continued to establish a more aggressive dictatorship. SLORC carried on with the education policy which would cater for the perpetuation of dictatorship and which had been implemented by the previous governments. In reality the policy to promote the education standard only enhances military power. To materialize the policy, SLORC tried to control the triangular bases of education namely students, teachers and parents. To implement this policy, SLORC formed the National Education Committee of Myanmar which is chaired by Lt. Gen. Khin Nyunt,' the Secretary of SLORC.
