Abstract

• Myanmar endeavors to enable quality education, whether in the public and private sectors. SDG4 recognizes the need to provide quality education for all. The establishment of private schools can contribute to the achievement of this Goal by providing quality education to students. Great attention was paid to the emergence of private schools at all educational levels in the education sector. Accordingly, this paper mainly focuses on the examination of the legal provisions how to regulate the establishment of private schools considering the compelling legal, social, economic, educational and political issues. The legal context of such issues plays a crucial role in the establishment and management of private schools in a democratic society. It is also essential to operate the quality assurance system. The sectoral laws should be enacted to control the private universities and colleges including TVET schools based on the relevant sectors although private schools can be established under the private education law.
