根据缅甸投资委员会（MIC）4月20日的7/2018号公告，缅甸投资委已允许外国投资者在缅甸全资投入创办私立学校，这意味着外国投资者能够完全控股运行私立学校，并教授缅甸教育部规定的课程或国际课程。国际教育投资者将能够投资基础教育学校、技术与职业培训学校、高等教育机构、专科学校及教育部认定的其它私立学校。

这对于缅甸教育领域来说是一项革命性的改革。据悉，当前缅甸各类的私立学校、国际学校等，大多并未得到国家有关部门的正式批准，而是采取变通或“擦边球”的方式开办并运营，虽然具备作为学校的条件，但名义上仍然是一些补习班或企业培训机构。这一措施将使上述“学校”的“转正”成为可能。可以预见，私立学校尤其是外资学校将迎来又一个“春天”。

The Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC) has permitted foreigners to make full capital investments in private schools in Myanmar, according to Notification 7/2018 issued by the MIC on April 20.

This means foreigners will now be able to fully own and operate private schools teaching a curriculum prescribed by the Ministry of Education (MOE) or an international curriculum.

International service providers will now be able to make investments in basic education schools, technical, vocational and training schools, higher education schools, subject-based schools and private schools designated by the MOE, according to the notification.

The move is good news for local students, who will now be able to choose from more international education options, Daw Khin Hnin Soe, principal and director of Myanmar Metropolitan College, said.

Even before the notification was released, foreign interest in the Myanmar education sector had been on the rise. Earlier this month, London-listed Myanmar Strategic Holdings (MSH) and Auston Institute of Management announced a joint venture to set up and operate a private school in Yangon.

The initial curriculum will include the Diploma in Engineering Technology, Diploma in Construction Project Management and Diploma in Networking, Information Systems and Security.

MSH also announced the planned opening of its third Wall Street English language centre in Yangon in August. It opened the first two centres last year and is targeting up to ten centres across Myanmar by 2027.

Daw Khin Hnin Soe said that a framework should be set up to maintain the quality of investors who enter into the sector. “The government should monitor foreign direct investments (FDI) into this sector and approve only the quality options,” she said.
