History

A graduation ceremony for the East Yangon University held at the University of Yangon's Convocation Hall in 2019.

The University of East Yangon was founded in 2000. The move was widely believed to be part of the Burmese military government's plan to disperse university students across many universities and colleges around the country. Students who would have attended Yangon University now have to attend Dagon University or East Yangon University in Thanlyin, southeast of Yangon.^[5]
