The promotion of educational qualifications of the people is crucial for the development of the country. Up to now, Myanmar people require improvement in education qualifications, according to the statistics.
However, it is regrettable that the majority of people above 25 stop their learning education less than the middle school level. It indicates that the country needs to create learning opportunities for the people while conducting the reform process in the education sector.
Practically, economic growth is basic for uplifting the living standard of the people. In order to boom businesses, it is necessary to make chances for people to learn school education, skills and techniques. Hence, it is necessary to set a plan for the improvement of the people’s education at least at the KG+9 schemes. If one completes the KG+9 education, they will have easy-to-learn vocational training for their lives. As such, plans are underway to establish the institutes of technical, agriculture and livestock breeding.
Currently, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly implement the project for the establishment of these schools at 51 basic education high schools in 50 districts for the students who have completed the middle school education.
In the coming academic year, students will have the chance to learn not only school education but vocational courses so that they have to easily seek jobs. The students who have passed the Grade 9 examination will have the chance to choose basic education high school education, technical, agriculture and livestock breeding subjects. Regularly, those students can learn education in Grade 12.
While learning high school education, the students will have the chance to study technical knowledge on building construction, and electric and mechanical production. After studying the three-year courses, those who passed the examinations with credits will secure an engineering degree and a technological degree. The qualified students will have a diploma in engineering. Those who passed the exams at the ordinary level will operate owned businesses with valuable skills and knowledge.
The students learning agriculture and livestock farms will have equal terms of opportunities in comparison with the technical course. The establishment of these subjects on vocational courses aims to uplift the life of youths who missed chances of learning to join the workplaces for their livelihoods. Such a new scheme will help improve the lives of students in choosing the learning options to be able to see a brighter future.
