Ethnic Minority Education in Myanmar

This observe explores ethnic minority education in Myanmar through a quantitative evaluation of demographic traits, academic overall performance, get entry to to instructional sources, and perceptions of the getting to know surroundings amongst three hundred participants. The findings reveal a balanced gender distribution and variations in ethnic illustration, emphasizing the want for focused interventions. Despite stereotypes, the moderately excessive imply GPA underscores educational achievements among ethnic minority students. Positive perceptions of library availability advise a robust basis, while demanding situations in computer get entry to factor to areas for development. The take a look at highlights the significance of fostering inclusive and culturally responsive mastering environments to address nuanced perspectives. As Myanmar ambitions for national harmony and sustainable improvement, those findings make a contribution to shaping rules and interventions for an equitable schooling device that embraces the wealthy diversity of its ethnic minority students

DOES ISOLATING CRITICAL FACIAL FEATURES MODULATE ACTIVITY IN EMOTION-RELATED BRAIN REGIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HIGH COLDHEARTEDNESS?

Psychopathy, a developmental disorder characterized by profound behavioural disturbance, is associated with impaired recognition of distress cues. Previous studies indicate that this impairment can be improved by redirecting attention to critical cues (the eyes for fearful faces), although the associated functional neuroanatomy remains unknown. fMRI was used on a community sample of individuals with high vs. low scores on the Coldheartedness (CH) subscale of the Psychopathic Personality Inventory (N=32). Participants identified emotional expressions consisting o f whole, or partial faces that isolated critical portions of each expression. Contrasting functional activity between the least-informative (eyes removed) and the most-informative (eyes only) portion of fearful faces revealed reduced activity in neural regions associated with emotion (amygdala and medial prefrontal cortex) and attention (fronto-parietal network), in the high CH group relative to the low CH group. Individuals with high CH traits exhibit abnormalities in neurocognitive systems responsible for orienting attention to critical emotional cues

Impacts of trade openness on Myanmar's economic growth (1962~2019)

Thesis(Master) -- KDI School: Master of Public Policy, 2021This paper examines Myanmar''s economic growth rate by inflow of Trade Openness and the Vector Error Correction Model was applied. Purpose of this study is to see trade openness has long-term positive or negative effects on GDP growth rates. According to this study, in the long run, GDP growth rate is positively associated with Trade Openness. However, the relationship is not statistically significant. GDP growth rate and inflation are also negative long-term relationship. The results proved to be negative for inflation, and people were saving money in the banks because Myanmar''s interest rates were so high compared to other countries. Therefore, this study suggest that Myanmar’s government should change monetary policy like decreasing interest rate. Furthermore, government should adopt suitable tactical trade policies and implement important changes to ensure Myanmar''s long-term economic prosperity. In addition, the findings of this research can be utilized to inform future research in order to develop sound trade liberalization policies that will help Myanmar prosper economically.1.

LABOUR MARKET IN MAE SOT 1990–2017 AND THAILAND’S NEW SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE POLICY

Abstract: This paper concentrates on the migrant labour market in Mae Sot (Thailand). This study is designed to analyze the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) from various sectors and segments of the migrant labour market. The period of the analysis is 1990–2017 because this is a period of rapid development along the Thailand-Myanmar border and the establishment of the Special Economic Zone in Mae Sot. Political, economic, and social aspects are major external pushing factors from Myanmar. The internal factors indicate that in Thailand’s economic growth, migrant labour plays an important role as pulling factors. Thailand has launched a long-term policy, aiming to recruit formal migrants and legalize migrant labour to hold a temporary work permit. Factories have already implemented low-cost operations by procuring migrant labourers who come from Myanmar to work temporarily in Thailand. The higher-wage jobs of the Special Economic Zone in Mae Sot are attractive, and migrant labourers come to Mae Sot to work. The large supply of labour from Myanmar is one of the key factors that contribute to the benefit of Thailand in terms of “cheap work-force”. Presently, Myanmar’s economy is restructuring, and the labour demand is shifting. The migrant labourers are becoming fewer. The future trend of migrant labour in Mae Sot continues causing increasing concern.Keywords: push and pull factor, migrant labour market, Mae Sot, special economic zon

The Formulation of British Colonial Policy in Myanmar under Dyarchy

Myanmar was inserted in the British India as province after the occupation of Myanmar by the British who were well-experienced with colonial administration. Dyarchy was granted to Myanmar on the 2nd January 1923 according to “the Government of India Act and it was 4 years later than that of India. Dyarchy signifies a ruling of both administrative bodies. On one hand, the administrative system operated by the ministers appointed by the Governor-General and on the other hand, the ministers elected by Myanmar people. Yet, entire authoritative power was held by Viceroy and British officials. Thus the colonialism practiced by the British was just ruling by disintegration of political unity. The British government avoided using the strategy of cracking down the opposition of the Myanmar indigenous tribes as political tactics. According to the colonial policy of Divide and Rule, the ministers appointed by the central Government of India and Governor-General, took charge of important departments such as internal affairs, finance and foreign affairs. Myanmar ministers were assigned only in the unimportant departments like public works. As to the indigenous people’s affairs, hilly regions of Kachin, Kayah, Chin and Shan were acknowledged as backward regions and they were excluded in the administration. Dyarchy was just a way of procrastination not to offer “Home Rule” to Myanmar people. For that policy, the leading GCBA association which was the most active and patriotic campaign against the exploited British colonial administration split into two. Another tactic of the English was that the problem of separation and anti-separation. The problem of separation and anti-separation of Myanmar from India became a strongly controversy among the whole Myanmar people. As a consequence, the united Myanmar political organization disintegrated and the claim for “Home Rule” which was the people’s desire of that period had to fade away. The colonial policies practiced by the English during the administration of Dyarchy which gave great assistance to the long lasting colonial administration

An Analysis of the resettlement program (Case Study: Dagon Myothit and Ayemyathaya Myothit)

Thesis(Master) --KDI School:Master of Growth and Development Studies,2000Urban development in Yangon (Capital of Myanmar) caused higher population density. Consequently, the government carried out a resettlement program by establishing new towns to relieve the problems, which arose due to the lower standard of living of urban residents and appearance of other socio-economics problems. This study examines the two main patterns of resettlement, namely urban resettlement and rural resettlement. Dagon Myothit, located in Yangon Division, was chosen to be analyzed as urban resettlement and Ayemyathaya Myothit, situated in Oakpo Township in Bago Division, was chosen to be analyzed as rural resettlement. The case study was based on a survey of 100 of plots from two blocks in Ayemyathaya Myothit chosen by the random sampling method and also 209 of plots from two blocks in Dagon Myothit (East) chosen in the above method. The sample plots taken from 1996 modified ward peace and development council census data and used as a sample frame were chosen by random sampling method. The information received from the case study is analyzed by quantitative and qualitative approach. The main findings of this study are that housing conditions were better only if the government could loan the necessary cost to settlers for construction, those without loans for construction of housing were in a worse condition. Regarding the electricity condition, in Dagon Myothit was supplied more than Ayemyathaya Myothit. There was no difficulty for water availability as a result of depending on the source of private water supply in the two regions. But Ayemyathaya Myothit relied heavily on public water supply compared with Dagon Myothit. On the educational level, there were many graduates in Dagon Myothit but most of the people of Ayemyathaya Myothit were at the level of secondary education. Households in Dagon Myothit earned higher household income compared with those in Ayemyathaya Myothit, for most of those in Dagon Myothit were government servants and could more easily get job opportunities consistent with urban life as a result of being located near the main city. Among the households who were resettled to Ayemyathaya Myothit, only one half of them specialized in farming. Yet the remainder returned to their former home site, as the creation of land for cultivation supplied by government and private home industries could not give income incentives for them, and these job opportunities were not suitable for their habits and interests. Consequently, in implementing the urban resettlement program, it became beneficial to live in their own houses for the households in two regions, but in supporting basic needs, there were conditions supported by the government, as well as the condition of selfreliance. In creating employment opportunity consistent with their educational level, to earn sufficient income to cope with their living expenses, households in Ayemyathaya Myothit were lacking in specialization in farming. Because in urban areas the opportunity for casual job was enormous, their income could be earned more easily than farming. Among the households who were resettled into the two regions there were some households who did not settle down there, as well as households who returned to their former home sites or moved to other places. The enumerator assumes that later studies will be more complete if enumerators can trace both these households. Their opinions will be able to be described in analyzing the achievement of resettlement program1. INTRODUCTION 2. RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM:CONCEPT AND THEORY 3.
