"Every school age child in school" and "education for all" are the mottoes which guide Yangon City in its educational effort. In order to catch up with the information age all high schools and even primary schools are being equipped with computers to help students become familiar with electronic media. A complementary approach in education is to develop a healthy moral mind in a healthy active body. Schools train pupils in moral and social behaviour. As a further support toward this goal monastic schools have been revived .These monastic schools played an important part in the social life of the people in monarchical days but were dismantled by the foreign rulers. Now more than 1530 monastic schools have been reopened. Public libraries give access to the reading public in all the townships.
