Placement Tests for Returning Students
THE Bago Region government has
announced that it is arranging for students from schools that are unable to
open for various reasons to take placement tests, allowing them to continue
their education in appropriate grade levels.
This was stated by a relevant official
from the regional government in responding to a starred question regarding education
raised by U Nyan Win, Hluttaw representative for Zegon Constituency 1, during
the second regular session of the Third Bago Region Hluttaw.
In pursuit of the Ministry of
Education’s guidance, this special programme was initiated to allow
school-age children who have been out of the formal school system for various
reasons since the 2021-2022 academic year. This initiative includes students
from basic education schools, as well as those from private schools and
monastic schools. The official explained that students from Grade 2 to 9 sat
for these tests from 15 to 20 June.
Furthermore, support is being provided
to teachers from these schools. “Teachers who have completed two years of
service are permitted to apply for transfers and promotions,” the official
said.
These programmes are expected to restore
educational opportunities for children currently outside the school system,
while also contributing to the stability of teachers’ jobs. — TWA/ ZN
