Amyotha Hluttaw 13 May, 2015: Chin MP calls for state-run technical high school in Matupi [incl. school exams+renovation of old and fragile school buildings]

Description: 

"Nay Pyi Taw, 13 May — Union Minister for Science and Technology Dr Ko Ko Oo and Deputy Minister for Education U Thant Shin fielded questions from parliamentarians about school facilities Wednesday as the Amyotha Hluttaw continued its 12th session. U Paw Lyan Lwin, MP of Matupi Township constituency, called for the establishment of a state-run technical high school in Matupi Township. Dr Ko Ko Oo said his ministry is not ready to open a government technical high school in Matupi Township during fiscal 2015-2016, as it is establishing schools in states and regions under human resource development and economic projects. U Phone Myint Aung, MP of Yangon region constituency 3, asked for students to be allowed to enter school compounds hours before exams. Deputy Minister U Thant Shin said for the sake of security, as well as to ensure the secrecy of exam papers, students must only be allowed to enter school compounds once teachers have prepared exam rooms. Defence Services Personnel representative Major Myo Tun Aung asked what plans, if any, the education ministry has for renovation of old and fragile school buildings in fiscal 2015- 2016. U Thant Shin said school buildings still requiring repairs will be fixed by the ministry in fiscal 2016- 2017."
