The House of Nationalities (upper house) of Myanmar has approved a proposal to assess the quality and credibility of certificates of private schools, Xinhua reported.

Private schools are conducting the courses in affiliation with overseas universities, education foundations or in their own curriculum.

Supporting the proposal, parliament member U Hla San told the house Wednesday that while foreign universities and colleges neglected the certificates of Myanmar's academic institutions, the potential learners for overseas education should have a guarantee for their investment.
