Thr first myanmar Muslim Educational Instuitution was properly launched by a muslim scholor, Muhammad Kasim @ U Nu in the period of Botaw Phayar at Amarapura, Upper Burma. Later, in the period of King Mindon, Kabuli Maulavi establishd a Madrasa at the Palace mosque and Golam Ali Shah estabished Madrasa Muhammadia in Upper Myanmar in the beginning of British Rule. After the arrival of Indian Muslims in Myanmar in the begining of 20 th AD several muslim schools and madarsa were seen at differnet region of myanmar most of them are existed at lower myanmar particularly in yangon.
However, the function of those institutions came to ceased when the military rule incepted in the year 1962. In the later stage, Pure religious madarsas providing only teaching of arabic lirerature, Al Quran and Sunnah are available when learning of modern and science subject were not autorized in these madrasas.
