Aim and Objectives

Our vision

  • To be center of excellence

Our mission

  • To nurture workforce to develop center of excellence

Our core values

  • Reflection, Sharing, Creativity
  • We believe in learning, growing and developing as a way of achieving our vision.
  • We learn by reflecting the experience.
    Without reflection, experience is just a lesson.
    It may be a best teacher, best teacher can only teach, but learning is by learner.

(စာပေဗဟုသုတ ဖတ်ရှုကျက်မှတ်ရုံမဟုတ် စဉ်းစား ဆင်ခြင် တွေးခေါ်ရန်လိုအပ်သည်။)

  • We grow by sharing our learnings.
    Without sharing, benefit of learning is limited.
    Knowledge is power, but sharing is foundation of knowledge.

(အသိပညာမျှဝေမှသာ အလင်းသည် အမှောင်ထက်အားများပေမည်။)

  • We develop by creation out of learning.
    Without creation, learning is least effective.
    Creation is a tool for change. It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. (Charles Darwin,1809)
