Abstract
By comparing the Myanmar's national high school physics textbook with a Japanese textbook, we show the differences between the two and how they can help students from Myanmar to learn physics. Comparing Japanese and Myanmar textbooks in the field of electromagnetics, 26% of the equations, diagrams and tables and 54% of the topics are consistent. In addition, Myanmar textbooks include many engineering topics, while Japanese textbooks do not. Instructors are expected to be aware of these differences so that they can teach the field of electromagnetics to students from Myanmar more efficiently.
