During nearly 50 years of military rule, Myanmar1 was frequently singled out for its bad human rights record. Although international attention focused primarily on violations of civil and political rights, Myanmar is also a developing country in which many economic, social, and cultural rights remain unfulfilled. The importance of these rights and the interrelatedness with civil and political rights have been frequently emphasized in human rights theory and practice (see Chapter 4 by Whelan in this book). Education is one example of a right that is now considered universal and indispensable for a country’s development.
