Educational System
Anglo-Burmans were enrolled in missionary-run schools where English was the medium of instruction with Burmese as a second language. For some Anglo-Burmans who married full blooded Burmese, their children, whilst still being counted as Anglo-Burmans, were usually more openly exposed to the indigenous culture and spoke and used the Burmese language more frequently than their more "Anglo" counterparts. Notable schools include:
- Kingswood High School, Kalaw, Southern Shan State
- St. Michael's School, Maymyo
- Government English High School (GEHS), Maymyo
- St. Mary's Convent, Mandalay
- St John's School, Rangoon

Famous quotes related to educational system:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the ‘educational system’ are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The educational system in large countries will always be utterly mediocre, for the same reason that the cooking in large kitchens is mediocre at best.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
