The military regime has suspended at least 1,683 striking educators and administrative staff members of 15 universities from their duties.
Following the Feb. 1 coup, many civil servants in the country have been on strike as they are unhappy with the takeover, saying they can’t work under military rule.
The regime ordered doctorate, master’s degree and final-year bachelor’s degree classes to reopen on May 5 nationwide, and educators and administrative staff to return to work by May 3, asking university authorities to report the list of absentees.

YANGON Myanmar’s military regime killed nine more civilians on Saturday, boosting the protest-related total death toll to at least 92 in the 41 days since the coup on Feb. 1.
In a deadly crackdown on a sit-in protest against the regime in Mandalay region’s Sein Pan quarter, at least five people were shot dead. The casualty toll was expected to climb higher as soldiers and police opened up with sustained bursts of gunfire, wounding many.
Students, teachers join growing civil resistance to coup
Thousands of university and school teachers, students, doctors and nurses across Myanmar have taken part in civil disobedience actions against Myanmar’s military government after this week’s military coup in the country.
President Win Myint, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and newly elected members of parliament were unlawfully detained by the Myanmar military government this week.
Hundreds of doctors and medical staff joined the civil disobedience movement, refusing to go to hospitals. They said they hoped civilians would understand their actions.
Reports said some 200 teachers and students from Dagon University staged a rally on Friday, where they displayed the three-finger ‘Hunger Games’ salute used by Thailand’s protesters in the past year.
