Summary of Talk for Gender Summit 6 Asia-Pacific:

The main targeted groups of concern in this gender analysis are teaching staff of both science and arts as well as researchers and outstanding undergraduate/graduate/post graduate students in the University of Yangon, Yangon, Myanmar, between 2013 and 2015. Resembling the dominance of women in our country’s population, the female educators in our university also outweigh these of males in almost all of the majors and sectors even though most of the top administrators are men. However, to adapt the gender equity, males have better opportunities regarding with their matriculation marks for university entrees in every field of study in any institutes.
