Despite the country’s literacy rate
of 92.7 percent there is still a need
for quality educational services such
as English learning centres or even

would surely contribute to the overall de-
velopment of the economy.”

loosening of military rule ending decades of isolation, has meant a surge in ownership of second-hand Japanese cars that are
replacing rusting, reconditioned British-era vehicles and boosting demand and imports of fuel.
KyawMin
“
The Southeast Asian nation remains,
however, a tough market to crack
given obstacles ranging from poor
infrastructure to buyers being particu-
lar about the colour of fuel they receive,
traders say. Fuel is often sold in glass bot-
tles next to the road and may be rejected
by drivers unless it is clear, irrespective of
performance.”
