N1  - Myanmar has a long and unique tradition of monastic education. Missionary Schools and Government Aided Schools began to replace the monastic schools. The first and second decades of the twentieth century saw the opening of  miscellaneous schools and awakening of the demands to have separate university in Myanmar. This dissertation examines the development of education in Myanmar from 1920s to the end of the British Colonial rule in 1948. Young Myanmar Intellectuals played not only in the establishment of nationalist associations but also in the movement for the attainment of a separate university in Myanmar. The main purpose of colonial education was to produce educated people so that they could be appointed as clerks and minor officers for the bureaucratic government. The British Government on the other hand continued to undertake the expansion of educational functions throughout the opening of numerous schools, vocational school, teachership training schools, agricultural collage, and affiliate college of Yangon University at Mandalay, and techical schools.; introduction
