I work at Myanmar Egress, a civil society organization formed in 2007 to teach social science subjects which were not being taught in schools or universities. They have been teaching courses to develop human capital in the country and give people the skills to push for a better Myanmar. The focus is mainly on youth but some courses have been given to business people, media to help with better reporting from conflict zones, politicians.
