In this picture taken on Saturday Nov 17, 2012,workers paint the fence of Yangon University, where President Barack Obama is scheduled to deliver a speech on Monday, Nov. 19, 2012, Yangon, Myanmar. Since colonial times, the fight for change in Myanmar has begun on this leafy campus. It was a center of the struggle for independence against Britain and served as a launching point for pro-democracy protests in 1962, 1974, 1988 and 1996. For many, the school has today become a symbol of the country’s ruined education system and a monument to a half century of misrule. (AP Photo/Gemunu Amarasinghe)
