1.Introduction

Myanmar's complex history and diverse population make federalism a crucial factor in its politics since independence.

The lack of civic education in the Myanmar education system has distanced its citizens from the concept of federalism.

This gap in understanding has made it difficult for citizens to grasp the historical context, leading to a cycle of conflicts and hindering political progression.
