Preliminary meeting for student union conference coming in November

The All Burma Federation of Student Unions (ABFSU) held a press conference on June 5 to announce that a preliminary meeting for a student union conference will be held in November. The meeting will focus on work procedures, the formation of student unions and the organisation's electoral system.

The press conference was held at Judson College in Yangon. Moe Htet Nay, a member of the central committee for the ABFSU explained the subjects to be discussed at the upcoming three-day meeting, which will be held in Bago Region.

“Our central committee will hold a district-wide student union meeting. Each university has a union. Ethnic minority students also have their own unions. Some districts can form unions, but some can’t. All should participate in the conference. Students will lead the meeting. Titles will be chosen through a voting system. The name of the next meeting is the Students’ Conference. This preliminary meeting will be held at the end of November,” Moe Htet Nay said. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
