Former Speaker, ethnic MPs push solidarity through literacy

Particular attention should be paid to the country’s more remote regions, using internet to overcome transportation difficulties, he said.

U Khin Aung Myint (USDP; Mandalay 8) told the Amyotha Hluttaw on August 5 that the government should “consider a special project to reduce illiteracy, [so that students can] access higher education, and to develop ethnic literature for all ethnic races.”

The former Speaker stressed the need to improve opportunities for hill communities, long considered to face restricted opportunities because of their remoteness. Information and communications are now advanced to the point where these problems can be overcome, he said. (Courtesy of mmtimes.com)
