The meeting with the Private School Supervisory Body.
Union Minister for Education Dr Chaw Chaw Sein announced that, starting next year, “Green Cards” will be issued to those who complete a nine-month training course in order to improve the quality of teachers in private schools.
The Union Minister made this statement during a meeting with representatives from the Private School Supervisory Body, private colleges, international curriculum schools, and national curriculum schools, held on 13 July at the Ministry of Education’s Office in Nay Pyi Taw.
The Union Minister noted that some private schools do not meet established standards and emphasized the need for them to make necessary preparations. She stated that this year is designated as a preparation period and by the coming years, schools must complete these preparations. Furthermore, she stated that starting next year, the “Double Shift” teaching system will no longer be permitted.
She also directed that private schools must not reduce or omit subjects such as ethics, civic education, and life skills. Schools are also required to conduct salutes to the State Flag and the singing of the National Anthem and the Patriotic Song. Additionally, school enrolment lists must be submitted on time to the respective Township Education Officer offices in accordance with set regulations.
Furthermore, she added that arrangements are underway for students from international schools to apply for admission to domestic universities.
