On 5th November 2020, Yoma Bank funded USD 25,000 dollar to SOAS University of London, to raise the fund for the existing post of Professor of Burmese and for the new post of Lector in Burmese.
A securely funded academic program of research and teaching in Burmese is crucial to achieving a fuller and more nuanced understanding of Myanmar, its cultures, and its civilization. However, the challenging economic environment for higher education in the UK has posed the threat to the future of Myanmar Language at SOAS. Yoma Bank believes that it is important to help maintaining the sustainable future of Myanmar Language teaching at SOAS.
