MYANMAR-POLITICS-EDUCATION

TO GO WITH: Myanmar-politics-education,FEATURE by Jerome Taylor This picture taken on March 19, 2015 shows university students revising their lessons at the library prior to an examination at the University of Yangon in Myanmar's largest city. Once celebrated as one of Asia's leading universities, the University of Yangon was shuttered for much of the last two decades by the junta, its colonial-era buildings languishing in fields of long grass. It was reopened in late 2013 as part of government attempts to overhaul an education system that calcified under army rule. But while Myanmar's turnaround initially won widespread praise after harsh military rule gave way to a quasi-civilian reformist government in 2011, there are fears it is now backsliding on key reforms.
