History

edit

On 27 March 1977, Bago Division Regional College was opened. It was upgraded to Bago College 30 November 1981, and to Bago Degree College and on 17 August 1992.[2] On 13 June 2011, the college was upgraded into a university, becoming Bago University.[2]

As a response to the violent suppression of the Letpadan student strike in 2015, the rector of Bago University imposed a ban on students who attempted to take the exam while wearing white and black wristbands in protest.[4] In the aftermath of the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, the teachers, professors, and staff of Bago University organized a red ribbon campaign, and joined the Civil Disobedience Movement on February 5 to express their opposition to the military coup and to show their commitment to accepting only a government elected by the people.[5]
