The Yangon University of Education (formerly the Yangon Institute of Education; Burmese: ရန်ကုန် ပညာရေး တက္ကသိုလ် in Burmese pronounced as /jàɰ̃ɡòʊɰ̃ pjɪ̀ɰ̃ɲàjé tɛʔkəθò/; abbreviated YUOE), located in Kamayut, Yangon, is the premier university of education in Myanmar. Primarily a teacher training college, the institute offers bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs in education to the country's prospective primary, secondary and tertiary school teachers. Its training high school known as TTC is considered one of the best high schools in the country.
The institute began as the Department of Education under Rangoon University (Yangon University) in 1924, and in 1931 became a separate college, still under Rangoon University as the Teacher's Training College (TTC).[1] It became an independent institute in 1964.[2] Until very recently, all educational colleges throughout the country were under the Yangon University of Education.
