Dr Daw Myint Myint Khin suggests totallly upturned revolution (Burmese education system) + K.M.Kaung's comment

Dr. Daw Myint Myint Khin urges a total revolution of the Burmese education system, which she says is the root cause of the poor quality of current writing.

K.M.Kaung -- Frankly speaking, I am rather tired of these "how to fix this, how to fix that" conferences, as I have seen them up close since 1962, and the military govt. just keeps doing what it does best - i.e. destroy everything so their own power is perpetuated.

No amount of talk talk talk and conferences will fix anything without real action.

Say, for example, Rangoon University were "fixed" tomorrow  -- who do you think would go and teach there?

Who do you think would send their children there?

We all know some big shots' kids study in places like Beijing Normal University and Geneva.

It is like U Ne Win allegedly taking a box of gems to sell in Europe - if he did not trust his own currency, then who would?
