In Myanmar, month of the August and September are heavily rainy season. In this season, usually spent writing and answering questions in order to receive new trainees at the army’s training institutes. The military training school is the military university. Military computer diploma courses at military institutes including the Military Institute of Technology and the Military Medical University. Other level schools such as the Tatmadaw Computer and Technology Science course are also included.
The above-mentioned military academies that you attend after graduating from the tenth grade are 2 to 6 or 7 years of training depending on the school, and are schools where you learn military science and literature together during one academic year. In addition, according to the nature of the military, all military schools have a senior-junior system, and a hierarchical management system is well designed. In addition, according to the nature of the military, all military schools have a senior-junior system, and a hierarchical management system is well designed.
Military education and literary education can be learned together, the senior-junior system is in place to ensure mutual respect, and the objectives are good. Military academies have been badly damaged these days by conscripts who prioritize business over duty.
In general education, majors recruited for military academies are usually recruited with fewer points, even if they have the same subject as majors from universities. For example, outside medical universities, if you get about 500 points to be admitted to medical university, within the army, there are about 460 marks to be admitted to the university. This is not specific but illustrative. The same is true for other majors and military schools. That’s why students who want to be doctors but don’t have the grades, students who want to be engineers but don’t have the grades tend to attend engineering universities and technical universities opened by the military.
Even though the grades are so low, when they actually teach, they don’t really teach anything. The teaching materials are not complete, and the teachers are not complete. At the Tatmadaw Computer and Technology Science Institute, which I attended, I had to focus on computer technology lessons, but in the three years of training, I never even entered the computer lab 5 times.
Such practical lessons are weak and in the case of face-to-face classes, the coaches do not come to class regularly like in other schools. They are usually only interested in business outside of his own. Only when the exam is close, they directly give the question-and-answer system and give a good score. It wasn’t just the school I attended, but other military universities and technical universities that I found out for sure after I graduated.
It must be said that these curriculum teaching systems are a very backward teaching system for today’s rapidly developing world. Because of successive dictators, economy, health, our country, which has a low level of education in all aspects, can even be thought to be deliberately producing modern dictators by teaching this kind of education system in military schools.
That’s why the transformation of the military has turned out to be bad. Those who knew nothing and could not disobey the order were doing it. Compared to the world, it would be quite funny. Just look at the Spring Revolution. Since they started to defend themselves, they have no knowledge of military strategy, so they have to flee every time they lose. As long as the military rules, there is no hope. It is presented that the change is not only the political system, but also the army.
