Current Market

We no longer live in a monologue world and
static environment.
We are living in a vibrant one and 
we need to be in a constant dialogue with both customer and stakeholder;
actively listening and attentively responding.
People buying green buck at this moment are not for transactional purpose nor precautionary reason.
The depreciation of Myanmar Kyat is not by outsiders nor
speculative profit making purpose,
it is a bit relief.
If the authorized people and accountable high ranking officials are thinking about transactional reason only,
there will be a gap, between reality and expectation.
When the gap grows big, the problem will be immense.
'This IMF [report] caps off a series of events revealing that, behind the veneer of liberal economic reforms lie the old ways, the old mindset, the old irrationality, the old regime,” he said.
So, the problem is old disguised with new.
The question is how new is new.
The new must be new.
Current practises are not much effective for long-run,
the dose and the pain is not match.
If they are managing and thinking today as yesterday,
there will be no more tomorrow at all.
We must be stay in today and
thinking for tomorrow.
Anyway, it is easier said than done.
So bite the bullet and swallow the bitter pill now.
Transparency, credibility and resourcefulness are crucial to the success of today's turbulent market.
Let's face the music.
Re-write the history and get the red-carpet treatment.
Get well soon CBM.
Brave New World.

TAKE CHARGE of your Education!

Thinking of continuing your studies with a private education institution?

If you are, it is important to spend time checking out the institutions and programmes they offer.

To help you engage private schools, we have penned a few questions to help get you started on the path to making an informed choice.

1. Is the private education institution (PEI) registered under the Myanmar Private Education Act? If yes, for how long?

Check for the PEI’s listing on the website. PEIs registered with the CPE have demonstrated that they have fulfilled the Private Education Act’s requirements for proper information disclosure, academic processes, and governance.

2. Is the PEI EduTrust-certified?

If the PEI is EduTrust-certified, it means that it has undergone an additional tier of quality assurance by the CPE, Bear in mind that only EduTrust-certified PELs may enroll international students.

3. Who are the Lecturers and teachers?

If you are enrolled in a degree programme, check that all the lecturers are accredited by the partner university. Ask to see the accreditation letter from the partner university.

4.What is the graduation rate and employment prospects of graduates from the course of study that you wish to pursue?

Ask the school how many batches of students have graduated, and what their employment record is like. Ask to speak to some of the graduates to find out more from them.

5.If the PEI promises industry work attachment, ask the following:

Clarify which organization you would be attached to during your course of study, how long the attachment is, and verify the information with the attachment organization.

6.If you intend to take a degree course with a PEI’s partner university, check on its ranking.

Countries like the UK and the US keep rankings of their educational institutions. There are also international ones, like the Academic Ranking of World Universities (http://www.arwu.org/). This will give you an idea of where your choice of partner university stands. You have to be satisfied with its position in the rankings.

7. Ask to see the Student Contract.

Ever registered PEI must have a student contract for each course. Review it and sign only when you are satisfied.

Make sure it contains the following details:

a)   Course duration, start and end date, and whether full-or part-time:

b)   Dates of all examinations, and major assessments and assignments:

c)   Expected release date of the final examination results;

d)   Expected date of award conferment;

e)   Fee collection schedule, including any late fee payment, and refund policy.

8. Ask if the PEI has a grievance handling procedure/process.

Find out if there is a panel to handle disputes, who sits on it, and the procedures and processes involved.

It is always beneficial to do your research and plan well ahead of your intended study period.

We wish you success in your studies.
