Kaplan Myanmar University College, a subsidiary of US educational program provider Kaplan Inc, will open its campus on Pyay Road, Yangon, on 28 June.  The Kaplan campus in Yangon will offer University Degree programmes, Professional Certifications, MBA Programmes and short courses.

The institution is targeting 1,000 students within one year.  It is also planning to open new Kaplan campuses in other Myanmar cities within three years.

“Our aim is to equip Myanmar students with credentials and qualifications from an internationally recognised education provider,” Daw Khine Khine Lin, principal of Kaplan Myanmar University College said.

The move comes after the Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC) in April permitted foreigners to make full capital investments in private schools in the country.  International service providers are now 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 Ministry of Education.
