Abstract

The Education system consists of three dimensions such as policy formation, managerial, and implementation. The purpose of education is to teach and train the young ones to grow in wisdom and knowledge because they are the hope of the nation. Unfortunately, the standard of education in Myanmar has declined markedly in the past couple of decades since the military dictatorship government led by U Ney Win took power in 1962. Since then, the education sector has experienced the challenges of reform to upgrade its educational policies. This article reviews and evaluates Myanmar’s education system, with related policies, the principle of management, and the procedure of implementation. It concentrates on the quality, objectives, and implementation of education policy. This qualitative approach of evaluation would identify the necessity of updating and upgrading the concept of a better education system on several levels. To support the quality of education policy implementation, this paper examines different dimensions of policy design, stakeholder engagement, conducive context, and a coherent implementation strategy.
