Education
There is general compulsory schooling for five to ten year olds. The school system is divided into a one-year pre-school, a four-year primary school and a two-phase middle school (grades 5-8 and upper grades (9-10). The education system suffers from tight financial resources, low school attendance rates, especially from secondary school, and poor quality of teaching However, government spending on education more than doubled in the 2010s. Buddhist monastery schools and private schools also play an important role in education. The oldest universities are Yangon University in Rangoon (founded in 1920) and Mandalay University (founded in 1925).
Media
The previous censorship was lifted in the course of democratization in 2012, but in an international comparison, Myanmar only ranks in the bottom quarter when it comes to freedom of the press, because the media laws restrict the scope for free reporting. The military coup of February 2021 worsened the situation for media workers: journalists were arrested, radio stations were obstructed and telecommunications connections were interrupted.
From 2013 private daily newspapers were allowed to appear. The largest daily newspapers are the state papers »Myanma Alin« (founded in 1963), in the English edition »The Global New Light of Myanmar«, and »Kyemon«. The oldest private weekly newspaper “Myanmar Times” appears in English from 2000 (five times a week from 2015) and from 2001 in Burmese.
The state news agency is the Myanmar News Agency (MNA, founded in 1963).
The state-run Myanmar Radio and Television (MRTV) broadcasts radio and television programs, including in minority languages and in English. Private broadcasters have been licensed since 2001, one of the largest providers is Mizzima Media (founded in India in 1998). Satellite television has existed since 1993. The most important mass medium is the radio. Several communication providers guarantee almost nationwide mobile phone reception. Internet services are largely offered through the Facebook group.
