CEID book launch of Professor Marie Lall's: Myanmar's Education Reforms - a pathway to social justice? (UCL Press) The webinar featured Dr Jérémie Sanchez (Fribourg), Dr Khaing Phyu (FCDO, Yangon) and Prof Marie Lall (UCL). The panel commented on the Myanmar 2020 elections as well as on the reforms.
The book reviews the state of education in Myanmar over the past decade and a half as the country is undergoing profound albeit incomplete transformation. Set within the context of Myanmar’s peace process and the wider reforms since 2012, Marie Lall’s analysis of education policy and practice serves as a case study on how the reform programme has evolved. Drawing on over 15 years of field research carried out across Myanmar, the book offers a cohesive inquiry into how the transition has played out across schools, universities and wider society. In so doing, it gives voice to those most affected by the changing landscape of Myanmar’s education and wider reform process.
