The White-Green consists of a white ''yinbon eingyi'' (with a green scarf for formal occasions) and green ''htamein'' for girls, and a white ''eingyi'' (dress shirt) (with ''taikpon eingyi'' for formal occasions) and green ''pahso'' for boys. It was originally the uniform of Myoma Co-Educational National High School Rangoon. History Before 1966, each school in Burma had its own uniform.

Education In Myanmar
The educational system of Myanmar (also known as Burma) is operated by the government Ministry of Education. Universities and professional institutes from upper Burma and lower Burma are run by two separate entities, the Departments of Higher Education (Lower Burma and Upper Burma), whose office headquarters are in Yangon and Mandalay respectively. The modern education system is based on the system implemented during British rule in Burma. "The first Government high school was founded by the British colonial administration in 1874. Two years later, this Government High School was upgraded and became University College, Rangoon."
