Our country has been engaged vigorously in the task of enhancing the quality of education with a view to raising it from the current ASEAN standard to that of the developed countries. In order to achieve that objective, the Ministry of Education drew up the National Education Strategic Plan 2016-2021 and has since been implementing the projects under that plan. Section 28 on page 13 of The Republic of the Union of Myanmar National Education Law (2014) stipulates that all colleges and universities under the Department of Higher Education give priority to carrying out research programmes and education development. The Myanmar Academy of Arts and Science, instituded in 1999, is fully committed to: 1) The dissemination of modern methods and techniques of teaching and learning, 2) The promotion of research and providing guidelines for research programmes and projects, 3) The dissemination and propagation of knowledge and expertise among the general public, and 4) The promotion of measures aimed at the generation and proliferation of competent researchers, academicians and Technocrats. Ever since its institution, the Academy has endeavoured to meet those commitments through national and international networks. From the year 2000, a year after its inception, the Academy has been holding Annual Research Conferences, and from the Fifth Annual Research Conference onwards, the Academy commenced bestowing the Best Paper Award. The number of quality research papers has increased from year to year; it is most gratifying to find that a total of 32 researchers won the Best Paper Award at the 2019 Research Conference. In 2006, the Academy

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Shan – Bamar – Buddhist – Military Officers – Maymyo – 1988 Uprising – SLORC – Courts – Written Notices – Bribery
    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: MMR34750 Country: Myanmar Date: 19 May 2009 Keywords: Burma (Myanmar) – Shan – Bamar – Buddhist – Military officers – Maymyo – 1988 Uprising – SLORC – Courts – Written notices – Bribery This response was prepared by the Research & Information Services Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. This research response may not, under any circumstance, be cited in a decision or any other document. Anyone wishing to use this information may only cite the primary source material contained herein. Questions 1. What is the status of the Shan and Bamar ethnic groups? 2. Is being a Buddhist consistent with being a military officer in the late 80’s/early 90’s? 3. Did the uprising in 1988 involve the town of May Myo and did it involve families of the military? 4. What is the SLORC? 5. Do courts, both civil and military issue written notices of charges issued to accused people and are written notices issued in respect of sentences handed down? 6. Do the military release people sentenced for long terms on the basis of being paid bribes? RESPONSE 1. What is the status of the Shan and Bamar ethnic groups? The ‘Burma Human Rights Yearbook 2007’ written by the Human Rights Documentation Unit of the National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma, a government-in-exile outside Burma, indicates that the Shan ethnic group is one of “the eight main ethnic families in Burma.” The yearbook also indicates that the Bamar ethnic minority is on “the SPDC [State Peace and Development Council] list of the 134 ‘officially’ recognized ethnic minorities from the eight main ethnic families in Burma.” The Bamar ethnic minority is one of the nine ethnic minorities from the Burman ethnic group.

  • CHAPTER 3 Myanmar Security Trend and Outlook:Tatmadaw in a New
    CHAPTER 3 Myanmar Security Trend and Outlook: Tatmadaw in a New Political Environment Tin Maung Maung Than Introduction In March 2016, the Myanmar Armed Forces (MAF), or Myanmar Defence Services (MDS) which goes by the name “Tatmadaw (Royal Force),” supported the smooth transfer of power from President Thein Sein (whose Union Solidarity and Development Party lost the election) to President Htin Kyaw (nominated by the National League for Democracy that won the election).1 Despite speculations that the winning party and the Tatmadaw would lock horns as the former challenges the constitutionally-guaranteed political role of the military, the two protagonists seemed to have arrived at a modus vivendi that allowed for peaceful coexistence throughout the year. On the other hand, the last quarter of 2016 saw two seriously difficult security challenges that took the MDS by surprise both in terms of ferocity and suddenness. The consequences of the two violent attacks initiated by Muslim insurgents in the western Rakhine State, and an alliance of ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) in the northern Shan State, have gone beyond purely military challenges in view of their sheer complexity involving complicated issues of identity, ethnicity, and historical baggage as well as socio-economic and political grievances. Occurring at the border fo Bangladesh, the Rakhine conflagration, with religious and racial undertones, invited unwanted attention from Muslim countries while the fighting in the north bordering China raised concerns over potential Chinese reaction to serve its national interest. As such, Tatmadaw’s massive response to these challenges came under great scrutiny from the international community in general and human rights advocacy groups in particular.
