AccreditationDepartment of Higher Education (DHE), Ministry of Education of Myanmar — operates under the State Administration Council (SAC), the military-led government in place since the 1 February 2021 coup d'état. The 1973 Universities Education Law and subsequent amendments govern Myanmar HE structure. CRITICAL CONTEXT: Since the February 2021 coup, Myanmar HE has been in severe disruption. Many faculty and students joined the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM), refusing to work under the military regime; some faculty are in exile or detained. The parallel National Unity Government (NUG, claiming democratic legitimacy) has launched alternative education initiatives including Spring University Myanmar and distance-based displaced-education programmes. INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION CONCERN: Some countries and international institutions have raised concerns about recognising post-2021 Myanmar degrees given the disruption to faculty composition and academic standards; students should verify specific destination-country recognition before enrolling. Pre-2021, Myanmar was a member of regional ASEAN HE quality frameworks; current status of these participations is uncertain.
