Faculty members need to emphasize national causes rather than politics

Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said faculty members have to serve their duties for the national cause rather than the politics.
Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing inspected Pathein University in Pathein of Ayeyawady Region yesterday.
Union Minister for Education Dr Nyunt Pe, the Region chief minister and officials reported on functions of Pathein University and construction of the library and buildings for academic matters, academic and management measures, and beautification tasks of the university and environs.
Speaking on the occasion, the Senior General stressed that 65-year Pathein University must be capable of shouldering Yangon and Mandalay universities in academic matters, adding that it is necessary to teach students to have correct attitude and knowledge on relevant subjects.
He noted that faculty members need to uplift their capacity with continuous studies. He added that only when they are well-versed in relevant subjects can they teach students to have a wider scope of knowledge to be outstanding.
A government takes State responsibilities on a temporary term, but faculty members always serve state duties. A government must implement its policies for the development of the country, whereas state service personnel have to dutifully serve their assigned responsibilities for the sake of the nation, he noted. The Senior General also urged all to turn out qualified human resources for the State.
The Senior General viewed round the university library and the university campus and left necessary instructions. — MNA/TTA
