Chairman of Myanmar Education Committee
Secretary-1 of the State Peace and Development Council Lt-Gen Khin
Nyunt delivered an address.
Secretary-1 Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt said development of
the advanced science and technologies and nurturing of the qualified
human resources are the main national requirements in striving to
build a new developed nation.
Only when there is continuous emergence of
intellectuals and technicians who are skilled in their respective
fields in the nation, will the nation be able to steer itself on the
road towards serving the national interests to the most possible
degree on self-reliant basis.
Only the higher education sector can be able to
lay down the foundations required to continuously turn out brilliant
intellectuals and technicians in the developing fields of the nation
such as the economic, social and defense sectors.
Thus, the special four-year national education
promotion programme has been laid down in the higher education
sector; systematic efforts are being made to lay down and implement
the human resources development programmers and to raise the
nation's education sector to reach the international level.
In accord with the objectives, the Ministry of
Education is holding seminars, conferences and talks annually to lay
down and implement the programmers to uplift the higher education
sector; the scholars, researchers and education officials are
striving to realize the objectives.
A workshop on masters' degree courses was held in
October 1997; a workshop to amend the curricula of pre-graduate
courses, in March 1998; a workshop on setting up the National Human
Resources Development Department in 1998; a workshop on development
of the higher education sector, in March 1999; a conference on the
four-year special national education programme, in April 2000; and a
seminar on the higher education sector, in April 2001.
The present seminar will discuss the progress in
implementing the long-term 30-year plan of the higher education
sector and the four-year special national education programme and
the future task.
In order to implement the projects of the basic
education sector and the higher education sector in relation to each
other during the 30-year plan, the Ministry of Education has laid
down and realized the Myanmar education goal for emergence of
an education that will create a constant learning society to face
the challenges of the present era.
The 12 aims, the 36 working programmers and the
78 working plans have been laid down to implement the 30-year plan
of the higher education sector.
The 12 aims of the 30-year plan are: to create
the human resources which have the ability to build a new peaceful,
modern and developed nation; to set up a Myanmar education system
accepting that the human resources endowed with advanced education,
intellectual and human ability are a guarantee for a better future;
to create the Myanmar education system as the main source of the
entire Myanmar society and to use the entire Myanmar society as the
resources of the Myanmar education system; to ensure  sustained
development of the qualified human resources of the nation and that

education environment endowed with ever flourishing intellectual
power and outlook and which can timely use the emerging technologies

arrangements to transform the entire working force into a learning
force; for emergence of a highly educated Myanmar society; to make

the way for the private sector to make investments in and
contributions to the education sector as efforts are being made to
uplift the national education commensurate with the increase in the
gross domestic product; to enable the education level of Myanmar to
reach the international standard; to prevent the degradation and

technological utilization work; the goal of the research work; the
three goals to create the constant learning society; the two goals
