Education plays a key role in development of the nation, Chairman of the State Administration Council Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said at the meeting with faculty members at Sittway University on 30 March.
The Senior General said university is an institution to teach students to have knowledge and techniques to be applied for development of the nation and the region. Building a country or a region requires a lot of well-versed human resources.
In the tenure, the current government provides cash assistance and residential allowance to students for contribution to the university academic measures. Cash assistance depends on relevant professions. Such an act was carried out amid the economic downtrend of the State during the period of Covid-19. The government made efforts for boosting manufacturing of products to increase incomes of the State. So, the State economy improves to some extent, the Senior General said.
In retrospect, promotion of learning by students from grade to grade was down in the nation as well as Rakhine State. It is a challenge to the country, harming the development of the nation. Weakness in encouraging education may cause impacts on the State in all aspects and it cannot secure a cent per cent success. As residences are included among faculty members of Sittway University, they all have to give systematic training to students to become the educated ones, he urged.
As university is a place that teaches such experiences, both teachers and students are urged to pay attention to the national cause rather than political affairs. There will be fulfilments for more accommodation and lecture halls for Sittway University. Preparations must be made to consider the increased number students in coming academic years, the Senior General stressed.
Later, the Senior General and wife and party went to Sittway View Point where they viewed the local people taking their rest and recreation.
