Özet

This study explores how technological advancements and international organizations shape the education systems in China and Myanmar, especially under the influence of deglobalization. The research analyzes how deglobalization impacts technology integration in education and assesses the role of international organizations and foreign aid in educational reforms. Through a comparative study, it highlights the differences and similarities between the two countries in technological adoption, government initiatives, and reliance on external aid. Using a mixed-methods approach, both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered via surveys from students in both nations. These surveys examined students' perspectives on technology use, the influence of international organizations, career preparation, and academic exchanges. The results show significant disparities between China and Myanmar. While China benefits from strong government investment and innovation in educational technologies, Myanmar faces obstacles due to its political instability and dependence on international aid. Chinese students report feeling better prepared for the global workforce, whereas Myanmar students struggle with financial barriers and lack access to exchange programs. This study sheds light on how deglobalization affects education in various socio-political settings, emphasizing the critical role of government support and international cooperation. It calls for context-specific strategies to overcome the challenges faced by countries like Myanmar and concludes with a recommendation for further research on the long-term effects of these trends on educational outcomes.
