After decades of repressive military rule, Myanmar has arrived at a new political phase. One of the accomplishments of this new era is the formation of the Yangon School of Political Science by Zin Mar Aung, a political activist. The school offers systematic teaching of Political Sciences in order to educate new generations in politics and thereby shape politically well-informed citizens. Since its opening in 2011, the school has trained more than 400 people in political science, political transition and international relations.
