For the 2022-2023 Academic Year, the enrolment week for primary, middle, and high schools under the Department of Basic Education throughout the country is from 26 May to 1 June 2022, and students will be admitted until the end of June.
Yesterday was the opening day of the enrolment week, and students were enrolled in their respective schools in Yangon Region.
No fees will be charged for this year’s enrolment as the Ministry of Education has issued a ban on the sale of school badges, and accepting cash plus gifts.
Daw Aye Myint San, a headmistress of Thuwunna Basic Education High School, said: “The enrolment week is from 26 May to 1 June, and our school admits students from 8 am to 2 pm daily. Only students along with parents or guardians will be accepted for admission.”
Distributing masks and face shields, having vinyl and posters about COVID-19 awareness, and setting garbage and basins for cleaning and washing hands were seen in the school compounds so as to prevent COVID-19.
In the current 2022-2023 Academic Year, Grade-5, Grade-8 and Grade-11 curricula courses will be opened. A new TOT course for teachers was launched in April.
In the 2021-2022 Academic Year, there were 2,758 basic education schools, including four practising high schools of the Yangon University of Education, 230 monastic schools, and 273 private schools in the Yangon Region. —MNA
