Overview
This project aimed to develop research as a core activity of Yezin Agricultural University and University of Veterinary Science, enabling these universities to meet Myanmar’s needs for agricultural and veterinary researchers, and to exploit the broader educational advantages of a research informed curriculum.
An opportunity has been identified to develop educational approaches capable of delivering problem solving skills at an undergraduate level, that are effective in the social, cultural and organizational setting of Myanmar.
Implementation of appropriate educational strategies will permit the two selected universities to build contemporary teaching and research services for students, industry, communities, and government. By supporting governance reform, while at the same time increasing research outputs, improving research training, and fostering the adoption of research-led curricula for agricultural and veterinary education in Myanmar.
The research effort will be the basis for longer-term development of research programs that are relevant to stakeholders and that will improve the capacity of the two universities to deliver improved farming practices that can be readily adopted by farmers.
