from Central Guangdong Province. Most migrants from Guangdong Province were artisans. Hakkas Hakkas (Burmese: zaka, , ) from Fujian and Guangdong provinces. The Hakkas are further subdivided into those with ancestry from Fujian Province and Guangdong Province, called eingyi shay haka () and eingyi to haka () respectively. Kokang In Upper Myanmar and Shan Hills, the Kokang people predominate there. Panthay The Panthay have long been considered distinct from the Han Chinese diaspora community. They are Chinese Muslims who are called Hui in China. Finally, there are the tayoke kabya () of mixed Chinese and indigenous Burmese parentage. The kabya (, meaning "mixed heritage") have a tendency to follow the customs of the Chinese more than of the Burmese. Indeed, tayoke kabya who follow Burmese customs are absorbed into and largely indistinguishable from mainstream Burmese society. A large portion of Burmese Chinese is thought to have some kabya blood, possibly because immigrants could acquire Burmese citizenship through intermarriage with the indigenous Burmese peoples. Socioeconomics Education The Burmese Chinese place a high importance on education and represent a disproportionately high share of those with advanced (medical, engineering or doctorate) degrees in Myanmar. The figure would be higher still had it not been for the longstanding ban on those without Burmese citizenship from pursuing advanced degrees when Ne Win instigated the 1982 Citizenship Law further restricted Burmese citizenship for Burmese Chinese (as it stratified citizenship into three categories: full, associate, and naturalised) and severely limited Burmese Chinese, especially those without full citizenship and those holding FRCs, from attending professional tertiary schools, including medical, engineering, agricultural and economics institutions. Many wealthy Sino-Burmese families send their children to the city's English language schools for primary and secondary education and Chinese and Singaporean Universities for education. Presently, many wealthy Burmese Chinese send their children overseas — in particular to Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, for advanced studies. Taiwan is also a major destination, as the Taiwanese government offers aid and scholarship incentives to 'returning' overseas Chinese to study and settle there. Until vast nationalisation by the Ne Win's government happened in 1963, most Burmese Chinese were enrolled in schools where Mandarin Chinese was the medium of instruction with Burmese as a second language. Notable Chinese schools at that time include: Burma-Chinese High School (緬甸華僑中學） Nanyang High School (緬甸南洋中學）- now Basic Education High School No. 2 Bahan Rangoon Chinese Elementary School (仰光華僑小學） Kee Mei Elementary School (仰光集美小學)
