Myanmar has but one degree program in journalism. The National Management College, an affiliate of the University of Yangon, has been offering the BA Journalism program since 2007. Problem is, the program is no longer responsive to the requirements of an emerging democracy, having been formulated by the Ministry of Information in a then-repressive military regime. With help from UNESCO, the NMC has taken the first step towards reshaping the program by conducting a thorough review of its curriculum and other program components.
