Nyunt Phay (Burmese: ညွန့်ဖေ; born 1961[1]) is the current Union Minister for Education of Myanmar. He was appointed by the State Administration Council after the 2021 coup. He previously served as the Rector of Pathein University and was asked by the President's Office for clarification due to financial scandals at the university.[2]

Financial issues

When an order was issued to transfer Rector of Pathein University to Director General of the Department of Monitoring and Evaluation (Education) in Nay Pyi Taw without the authority of the Rector, he quickly signed a contract with a company to build new old staff quarters at Pathein University.[3] He also had problems with university finances.[4] [5]
