BurmaEducational Problems By: Sar Oo, Juan Frazier, Kyler Rouse We have an enormous problem about education in Burma. Burma is located in Asia and now Burma is known as Myanmar ( Background Note: Burma). Burma has many ethnic groups which mean that there are many cultures, but they mostly speak Burmese. Some of the people in Burma live in rural area, there are poor and have unsanitary homes. Anyway the problem is that the people are concerned with education and their poverty. People in Burma need lots of help with their education. Since the government and the military don’t have respect for “human right”, the government only provides education for the military. Right now almost all the universities and school is closed. The government is being unfair to student’s education ( Education). Burma had a strong education system, until the military government took over in 1988. The education system has shut down to the point where all school has effected student’s education. 2\3 to 3\4 of the students drop out sooner than the 5th grade. Children in ethnic underground areas have fewer chances to get in school. Children in those areas have to struggle for food. Things in Burma are very harsh for kids, we have to put a stop to this ( Education). Our solution to this big problem is to make a charity to raise money, we can also make a fundraiser by selling fruit, since American money is so valuable, like one dollar of America money equal thirty dollar to Burma money. We can also do other things, for example we can do a car wash, and we also can cut grass, and do more things to raise money. Another example is we could go on a field trip. Then some of the money for the field trip will be donated to the charity that would helpBurma’s education, but if we did do this the kids would have fun on the field trip. The money would be going to good cause. Now we tell you the problem. Their education in Burma is really bad and the government would not providing schools for the student except for the military. We need volunteers to help solve this problem and get the schools back for Burma student education. WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! How Can You Help Us? Work Cited "Education." //Burma// //Issues-//.
