<p>Like any other University of International Standard, Professors are expected to have their Doctorial Degree and lecturers must have a Master&#8217;s Degree. Graduate and Diploma holders can be for the IT and Pedagogy subjects. For the Faculty of Medicine must be MBBS or MD plus experience and skilful teachers who are already involved in humanitarian works and who has a proven “Cetena” (love and good will) with the right and sound mentality will be given preference. One must be efficient in particular chosen discipline and understand the need of the student and their behaviour. The candidate must have sound physical and mental health and be willing to experience living in Southeast Asia. Must teach at a stretch for two credit hours (one credit hour is 15 teaching hours) and no leave (except for emergency cases) will be allowed as AEIOU will provide a modest living quarters for all lectures and professors. Will have to draw up its own teaching modules with the given guidelines and justify the curriculum to fit in with the Burmese situation and background. CV/Resume with the works of books and research papers will have to be presented before 1st December 2008.</p>
<p>All subjects, except some of the humanities disciplines have to be taught in English. Retired professors are encouraged to apply to come over for a few weeks in Chiang Mai, northern capital of the Thailand. Come and experience the holistic life and real joy of how you can put life and share your wisdom knowledge to the marginalized youths of Burma, who are all eager to learn.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>(Prof. Dr. Ma Tin Yee, more affectionately known as Aunty Rosy, is the Rector of All Ethnic International Open University)</em></p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong> So you have successfully completed this semester. Some people got  confused and so can you tell me what the difference between EWOB and AEIOU is?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> Yes! We have successfully concluded this 2008 semester. EWOB is Empowering Women of Burma which is an NGO founded since 1992,     and registered in Canada where I started with one sewing machine in the Thai-Burma border area to help the refugees’ women and children. Since then we have come a long way working silently with humility and sincerity. AEIOU is the one of the major projects of EWOB started as a University Upgrading Course (UPC) as a pilot project in 1999/2000.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong> How did AEIOU started?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> Working for the women and children in the refugee camps I discovered the real problem of the youths. The refugees, Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) and Migrant Youths are prevented from further studies because they have little or no choice. Annually, the refugee camps at the Thai Burma border regions are churning out about 3,000 highs schools graduates. Camp leaders and elders who have vision requested us to find opportunity for the younger generation to study. Very few of them have little or no hope for further education. Some found jobs with the NGOs with a minimum wage but most of them are unemployed. Some sneak into towns to work as illegal immigrant workers. Some got involved in narcotic and became a problem to the community and to the host country. Others became desperate and went out to the front lines to battle the Junta forces.  Some of them got married and their offspring and family suffered the same fate and vicious cycle begins. Less than one percent of these youths get scholarships to study abroad but here again they faced a lot of problems and difficulties as they are placed into an entirely new atmosphere with different value system, language, climatic conditions and food. Obviously very few could keep up with the modern method of life at their respective universities abroad. It seems that the prospects of these refugees have little or no future at all. There should be some alternatives to ease all these tension and create better world. Hence the continuing education becomes a necessity and we founded this AEIOU.<span id="more-15"></span></p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong> Why is it called Open?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> Open University means we do not teach the whole year round. We let the period of study open for the workers and others who are not able to attend a regular class the whole year. First semester is in Chiang Mai and the second semester is in their respective communities to implement the assigned tasks and independent writing. They also have to organize the youths. If a student did not implement the assigned task he/she does not come the next year.  We also discover that some take the intelligent youths train them in English and computer and send them abroad where most of them stay for good. Others emphasize on distant learning education but the contact between teacher-pupil is minimal. It     was in between these two that we hit on the Open University idea. We admire the Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University www.stou.ac.th of Thailand and it was on these lines that we draw up a plan. The other aspect is that we did not want the student to be cut off from their roots.  The spirit of going back and serve their own community have to be encouraged.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong>     You, yourself has come back from a third country and why did you prohibit the student from going to a third country?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> That is a very good question. We have no objection students going to a third country, especially those who are seeking asylum, as they have no choice. What     we are preventing is the brain drain and the mass exodus of the ethnic community which tantamount to encourage the ethnic cleansing policy of the Burmese regime.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong>     Aren’t you destructing individual rights and democracy as far as going to a third country?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee: </strong>No. We have given the student a choice. If they want to go to a third country they can and let that third country educate them, not us.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST: </strong>    Does this mean that none of your student can study abroad?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> No, they can do it.  We have sent the third year students abroad and they have come back and served their own community. We understand that they need exposure and experience of how people in other countries think and act for themselves and community. Thus we plan further study program at least one year abroad. Selection is very strict, and observation is very thorough, student should be competent to reach a third year with a good moral character, commitment and dedication. In short they must be also nationalistic and competent. Then only he will be selected to study abroad or at least in a Thai University.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST: </strong>Why you said Thai University, what do you mean?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee: </strong>Well this year is conspicuous. First is that we able to send 7 students to the professional institutes. One to Dentistry, Two to Medical College, One to Technology, One to Business Administration, One to Humanities and one will be send abroad. We found that Thai University is friendly and good partner interns of education. We trust that the standard of education is up to the mark in professional field. Second we could ink the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) between our mother University, the Simon Fraser University (SFU) of Vancouver, British Columbia and Chiang Mai University (CMU).</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST: </strong>    How many students and faculties this year?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> Only 35 students, we have about twenty three students in the Faculty of Social Sciences including Humanities  and about a dozen in the Faculty of Pedagogy. This year we train the High School teachers leading to B ED courses in lieu with the Faculty of Education of the Chiang Mai University.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST: </strong>How do you screen and streamline the students?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee: </strong>Every student must successfully complete the first year where in the first semester, he/she will have to take five compulsory subjects (English, Computer, Contemporary Burmese History, Thai Language and Administrative subjects) and another two optional subjects, here in Chiang Mai (Jan to May). The second semester in their respective community and write the research paper and organize the other youths and if he met the criteria he was selected to study professionally.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong>     Is there any bond with them?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> Yes. They must serve one year at AEIOU and go back and serve two or three years in their own community.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST: </strong>    Is there anyone who betray?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> No! Up to this date.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong>     What is conspicuous about AEIOU, and what are the salient points?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> (1) Up to this day it is the one and only Burmese University in Diaspora.<br />
(2) Conspicuously, laying down the spirit of Pyidaungsu (Union Spirit) for the Union of Burma<br />
(3) Unlike other universities our curricula is catered to the need of the country. We designed the curricula aligned to the country in comparison with the ideas that our generation’s need, the gap in our country education system, and the future prosperity.<br />
(4) We give Diploma only after 80 credit hours and Degree 160 credit hours which come to at least four years in the latter and two years in the former. This is because ours is intensive course in the first semester and more time for concrete research and independent writing in the second semester.<br />
(5) We are the only institution that wittingly or unwittingly did not encourage the brain drain. It is the University of Burma, for the people of Burma, by the people of Burma far away from the encroachment of the Burmese Generals.<br />
(6)Enable to give a good and a virtuous vision to the students, to be patriotic, to serve the country and people, to lead a more holistic life, to enjoy an innocent youth life etc.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong> Do the population knows these criteria?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> Of course they know and the youths choose to sit for the matriculation or entrance examination, every year in hundreds.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong>     When is the Matriculation (Entrance) Examination and where the student can answer? And what criterion should the student know.</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> We have the annual matriculation examination in July or round about. Since we are taking several categories of students such as refugees, IDPs, migrant workers and those from inside Burma we have round about 40 exam centres. We usually held exam centres in almost all the refugee camps of the Thai Burma border area. Then we have it in border towns for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) like Laiza in Sino Burma area and Aizawl in Indo Burma areas besides the Thai Burma border area. For the migrant workers we have international centres like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Kuala Lumpur, New Delhi etc. The criterion is English to that of the GCE (A) LEVEL and General Knowledge must be at par with the current Burmese and International affairs.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong> How did you select your Faculty members?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> We invited the Professors both Burmese and foreigners especially those who are well experienced and love to teach, some professors responded with Cetena and continue to teach for one semester after another. While some leave for various reasons. Most of them are volunteers and attracted by humanitarian gestures and loved the students whose thirst for knowledge exceeds far beyond the standard. It is both-side learning and on the whole the result is satisfactory and we owed lots of gratitude to them. Up to this date we have 27 professors from 13 countries.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST: </strong>    How do the subjects are taught?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> Medium of instruction is in English except French and Phad Sar Thai.     Even though our curriculum is standard it has to be aligned to meet the exigencies of the day e.g. we discovered that previously Trauma was found only in refugee and IDPs students but as of this year we discovered that a lot of Trauma was found in every student coming out from Burma, and also from the migrant workers hence the cure of Trauma become a necessity and for this subject name it as Stress. It was taught by an expert from France. May be this year because of the conditions in Burma, psychology and Trauma subjects will have to be introduced more clinical.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong>     Do you teach Burmese?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> No, not at the University level. It must be taught in the high schools for in the Matriculation we have translations from Burmese to English and vice versa and if any schools that did not teach Burmese it is obvious that their students cannot answer the annual Matriculation Examination. We accept Burmese language as a lingua franca among all the ethnic tribes of Burma.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong> Some people accuse that AEIOU is half university and half booth camp?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> There are always wild accusations. Remember our university motto is “Academic Excellence and Superb Training.” We emphasize on training the trainers, hence many workshops and training subjects are included. A student must be punctual, do the daily chores, study 5 hours a day (not including 6 hours in class) and must be amity with others. Prohibited from smoking and drinking (we consider it as a weapon of enemy because in the narco baron ruled Burma if     you are caught with narcotics you got a light sentence but if you happens to write a poem on the merits of democracy you are jail for 3 years). We imposed these rule stringently. In other words we wean out the student and take only the cream. We believe that it is necessary to follow a right path to reach the goal. That is why if you go to any refugee camp, IDP or Migrant areas you will witness that most of the youth leaders are those who passed out successfully from AEIOU. We appreciate them for applying their knowledge they gained here.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong>     Some people compared your AEIOU with other universities and that you are somewhat giving the student a Spartan training.</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> AEIOU is a war time university education. The fact that we could not run this programme in Burma itself is a proof and cannot be compared to the other universities which are peacefully teaching in their own country. As said earlier     Burmese Government is against higher education itself lest the people got educated and threaten their position. We are somewhat similar to what the French patriots aligned their education during the Vichy government or that of the Vietnamese education during the time when the Americans were bombing with might and main. As such AEIOU should be compared to the war time education system on an ad hoc basis.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong> I am sorry to ask you this question since I cannot contribute any pence to your good cause. But can you tell me where you get your budget.</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> Ours is just a simple lean and mean machine. Before saying the budget we should start with the commitment. Budget is not the criteria. It is the commitment. The aim to help younger generation should be clear and have to implement to reach the goal selflessly. Remember EWOB commence with one sewing machine and now after two decades we are running sewing projects with over hundreds of sewing machines in the peripherals of Burma. So also when AEIOU started way back in the 90s it has only a dozen students and now it becomes a degree program with over 30 students every year. To be candid, the funds are usually from the church based NGOs from Europe and from individuals, compassionate and sympathetic persons from all corners of the world. But we admit that we have no regular funding or commitment donors to support our program. Therefore every year we have to go round and lobby from them. Presenting real situation of the project, the need felt, including reasonable budget planning and way of implementation plus transparency and accountability are the main components we present.  We always report fully and questions are answered.  Donors are welcome to visit the program. As seeing believes, any time donors can come with own plan or arranged. With reasonable amount of donation we can implement as we are volunteer and the expense of the office is minimum. Appropriate management and dedication is much more important than the affluent fund. Of course sometimes we do not get even half of the budget, but our projects survived yearly and the programs grow obviously. Now we are in the 9th year and we are confident that our friends will never fail to help us. Education is the pillars of Democracy and Evolution of thoughts are undeniable and desirable for the people of Burma.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong> What is your set up?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> EWOB has its board members and so like wise AEIOU has its University Council which are spread world wide. They communicate each other by email and give necessary advice and information. We refer to them when we need technically. Now I am serving as the Rector, and there is a Dean, Registrar, Board of Examiners, office manager and many assistants. We have an office in Chiang Mai and our coordinators are working hardly. The most crucial and dynamic persons are the grass root level camp crews in refugee camps, representative in IDP and Migrant workers areas. In the international exam centres we have our contact persons and of course inside Burma we have our men who have to be very discreet as you might as well know. It will be unfair if you compare us with the Oxford, Cambridge set up as we already told you that we are building a war time education system. But the basic structure is not less than others. We wish we would reach a real university set up with chancellor, trustees and crown with the president of Burma etc, we harbour that dream but can only come true if all people accept the importance of education in building a democratic Burma or a utopian society of our dream. But nobody can deny that professors in our program brought new thoughts and educate the generations with inspiration despite of crisis and risk. Their selflessness and dedication should be always honoured and respect.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong> What is the underlining Rationale?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> Democracy cannot flourish in an education vacuum, has been proven by the contemporary history of Burma since independence (1948). Successive military administrations (starting from 1962), has targeted education to sustain them in power. AEIOU in short is a systematic accelerated capacity building institutions laying down the foundations of Union Spirit, democracy, good governance as students became dynamic work force, if not natural leaders in their own community, empowering and multiplying the democratic ideals in the civil societies. We believe that,” what Oxford and Cambridge Universities think of today, England will think of tomorrow and what AEIOU think of today, the Federal Union of Burma will think of tomorrow.”</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST: </strong>Do you have anything to say to the people of Burma?</p>
<p><strong>Prof Yee:</strong> To the people inside the country in time of desolation stand firm and constant in the resolutions and determination, be brave, and stand up for the truth. I am proud of their dedication and sacrificial spirit  for the country and helping each other in time of need please keep it up, for in the end Truth shall make you free. To the Burmese in Diaspora I wish them to think globally and act locally support each other rather than the internet warriors. To be candid we are in the same boat and if we are united and have much more understanding each other than now our destination to success is not so far. To the youth, read more knowledgeable books, put more interest in education, rather than fall into temptation. Experience may be the best teacher but believe strongly that only education can expand your vision and purify your thoughts for better society and for yourself.</p>
<p><strong>BURMA DIGEST:</strong> Thank You</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:right;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><em>_ <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">by Aung Kyaw Soe</span></em></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">I would like to discuss shortly about different scholarships/financial assistance schemes as I found there are confusion among people in overseas, and inside Burma. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">First message is that scholarships differ in their nature, demands and missions. They can easily be categorized into following profiles: _</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;color:#0000ff;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">1. Scolarships based on nationality, citizenship, faith, or heritage or a cause: _</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">Some scholarships are handed out from donor agencies to recipient government employees: educators working for public tertiary educations, policy making offices as part of technical and development assistance from donor to recipient country. Not only limited to active government employees, individuals who are admitted to an approved educational institutions can also apply for those scholarships.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">Sometimes the donor organization may be assisting students with a particular faith, political belief to promote a cause.<span id="more-32"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">Foundations such as Ford foundations, Gates foundations, or other trusts funds play a big role in providing financial assistance to needy students who has already earned admission to an approved school and university in approved major fields are eligible to apply for those scholarships.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">Competition is local; if there are around 5 scholarships per year for Burmese scholars, scientists, and policy makers, competition can be considered among fellow Burmese. Or sometimes competition is regional, if there are 10 scholarships for ASEAN region, the competition is among students and candidates from 10 ASEAN countries. For experienced and aged wanna be scholars, the fellowships are there for mid level career professionals.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;"><em><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">Examples</span></em><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">:<br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"><strong></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">These scholarships are not designed to serve the recipient of the scholarship native country but to serve the donor organization country. Competitions are global, it is to be competed among able scholars, candidates in all countries and there is no limit or quota set to a country or nation.<br />
<em>Examples:</em></span></p>
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">100 Presidential fellowships/year ar MIT, Cambridge for any students who will pursue S.M (Master degree) at science and engineering departments in MIT under its professors. Some students try to win PhD scholarships and during half way of PhD studies after fulfilling academic requirement for MSc, they apply for MSc and stops there.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">Singapore EDB (Economic Development Board) has scholarships scheme for its niche sectors Singapore wants to develop Human Resources: Biomedical, Life Sciences, Embedded Systems Design, etc.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">University research grants under Professors fits into this profile, as long as the professor believes that you are an asset, he or she may offer you a scholarship</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">Merie Curies scholarships/studentships in Europe</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;color:#0000ff;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">3. Scholarships from private companies</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">Competition is global and it is designed to promote that corporation’s specific research interest. But some of these schemes fit into first profile and may be limited to particular university, country to help develop the Human Resource Development in countries they operate or making profits.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"><em><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">Examples:<br />
</span></em><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">Fortune 500 companies official web sites will gives an idea.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial;">I hope reader will get a brief idea by now.</span></p>

<p class="western"><span lang="EN-US"> Four students were awarded Diplomas in Teacher and another four (one in absentia) were awarded with Honours in Social Science from two Universities, the All Ethnic International Open University (AEIOU) and the Chiang Mai University (CMU) which has a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with the Simon Fraser University of British Columbia, Canada.</span><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span lang="EN-US">&#8230;</span></span><span id="more-3"></span></p>

<p class="western"><span lang="EN-US"> The joint ceremony was generously supported by the CMU; and both </span><span lang="EN-CA">Faculty members of the CMU Education Department and the AEIOU attended the celebration.</span><span lang="TH"> </span></p>
<p class="western"><span lang="EN-US"> “</span><strong><em><span lang="EN-CA">Charge To The Students</span></em></strong><span lang="EN-CA">” speeches were delivered by Prof. Dr. Annop Pongwat, Dean of the Faculty of Education representing the Chiang Mai University, Dr Ma Tin Yee, Rector of AEIOU Programme and Prof. B T Win of the Simon Fraser University of British Columbia, Canada.</span><span lang="TH"> </span></p>
<p class="western"><span lang="EN-CA"> This year, AEIOU will send five students to the professional institutes in Thailand, two to Medicine, one to Dentistry, one to Technology and one to Business and Administration and they all were already accepted by their respective institutions. </span></p>
<p class="western"><span lang="EN-CA"> In spite of their limited human and financial resources the program has high hope for the coming years and has tentative plan to become a full fledge Burmese University in Diaspora, offering various curricula, including courses in professional training.</span><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong><span lang="EN-US"> </span></strong><span lang="EN-US">&#8230;</span><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><a title="51.jpg" href="http://burmadigest.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/51.jpg"><img src="http://burmadigest.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/51.jpg" alt="51.jpg" width="483" height="242" /></a><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>

<p class="western"><span style="color:#ffffff;"><strong><span lang="EN-US"> </span></strong><span lang="EN-US">&#8230;</span><strong><span lang="EN-US"> </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="western"><span lang="EN-US"> Today, AEIOU is offering superb leadership and academic excellence as the &#8220;<strong>Pillar of Democratic Burma</strong></span><span lang="TH">&#8221; </span><span lang="EN-US">and it is the only institutions with full capacity as an Open University in conjunction with the Chiang Mai University. With scores of students graduating from AEIOU annually for the last eight years&#8211; like the saying, “What</span><strong><em><span lang="EN-US"> </span></em></strong><span lang="EN-US">Oxford University think of Today, England will think of Tomorrow”, it is hoped that “<strong><em>What AEIOU think of today, Federal Republic of Burma will think</em></strong> </span><strong><em><span lang="EN-US">of tomorrow</span></em></strong><span lang="EN-US">”.</span></p>
<p class="western"><span lang="EN-US"> The program holds itself to a fully open and transparent accountability. Its advisory board is made up of honorable persons such as the former Premier of Manitoba, Canada cum the incumbent chairperson of UN Women Association, as well as senior lecturers from different educational bodies such as Australia, United States, Canada, EU, and Southeast Asia. The AEIOU program is a hands-on practical education for the Burmese students from disadvantaged background, including Internally Displaced Persons, Migrant workers, and also students from inside Burma with experience in humanitarian organizations such as </span><em><span lang="EN-US">Phaung Daw Oo</span></em><span lang="EN-US"> and other programs whose names cannot be revealed to protect the participants of the AEIOU.</span><span lang="TH"> </span></p>
<p class="western"><span lang="EN-US"> The AEIOU can therefore be considered ‘a lean-mean machine’ for trying to make a difference on behalf of the future of Burmese people in this manner.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">            Of course you are old enough to walk but it is only <strong>AEIOU</strong> that will take you to your goal and in your study will show you a more holistic life far from this mundane world.</span></p>

As the only Burmese University in Diaspora <strong>AEIOU </strong>offers the most interesting curricula taught so far by 32 professors from 21 countries. Moreover after the Prep 1<sup>st</sup> year, if you are eligible, you can branch off to professional lines like medical, engineering, computer science, etc. New disciplines such as curing Trauma hitherto confined only in Refugees and IDPs, was found in every category of student has to be wilfully introduced after the Saffron Revolution and Cyclone Nagris.

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN-CA">          T</span></strong><span lang="EN-CA">hrough our experience we discovered that annually hundreds of students answer the exam and less than 10% ever passed the Matriculation. Please remember that, our examination questions are not a High School level, Post Ten level or a Community College levels, but is a University Level examination at par with the International standard. Hence it is of a high standard.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span lang="EN-CA">          </span></strong><span lang="EN-CA">The level of English is GCE (A) Level, CANTAS level or TOFEL 5 plus level, so please thoroughly prepare for it. AEIOU being accredited to several universities and did not teach Burmese language (except to the foreign students) but accepts the Burmese language as a <em>lingua franca </em>and hence the translation from Burmese to English and <em>vice versa</em> is compulsory. One essay on contemporary Burmese or International Affairs is indispensable and please be noted that it must be in an essay format. Précis writing, good grammar, idioms and literature from both English and Burmese are also expected. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">          For the written examination there are two papers, one is <strong>English</strong> Language as described above which is a 3 hours paper and the second is <strong>General Knowledge</strong> about Burma and International affairs. For the latter, which is a two hours paper, one must read the international newspapers, listen to the international radio and look at the television news</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">           If a candidate passed the written examination, an oral (interview) will follow conducted by one of our representatives. Once you passed both the exams then you are qualified to attend the AEIOU 1st year. Good luck to all.</p>
