Over K1.35B proposed to overhaul school washrooms
FUNDING worth more than K1.35 billion
has been proposed for the school toilet renovation project, which is planned
to be implemented for 235 basic education schools in Yangon Region in this
financial year, said Yangon Region Minister U Bo Htay for Social Affairs in
the second session of the third Yangon Region Hluttaw held on 29 June.
He replied to the request by Daw Khine
Su Yi Zaw, regional Hluttaw representative from the Bahan Constituency 2. The
question was about plans for clean toilets in basic education schools.
According to the minister, budget allocations
are systematically distributed across fiscal years to upgrade school sanitation
facilities in the region. Specifically, K689.84 million was designated for 130
schools in the 2024–25 financial year, followed by an allocation of K863.44
million for 145 schools in 2025- 2026 financial year, he added.
The government intends to sustain its
annual repair and maintenance initiative to ensure clean school sanitation
facilities.
“We plan to execute the school washroom
maintenance project every year. Furthermore, to cover essential cleaning
costs, we have arranged budget allocations under the category of ‘cleaning
expenses and labour wages’,” the minister stated. — TWA/ZS
