The 2014 Myanmar Population and Housing Census: Thematic Report on Education

The report notes that the Census showed that the national adult literacy rate was almost 90 percent, and although higher rates were reported for males (93 per cent) than for females (87 percent), there has been greater improvement among females since the 1983 census. Gender differences in literacy are relatively small up to around aged 50 after which males are more literate than females, and these differences increase with age. This reflects the gender differences in school attendance in earlier years. Urban residents are more literate (95 percent) than rural residents (87 per cent).
