Education – due to its level, teaching conditions and lack of teachers – is one of the most difficult issues faced by the reforming Myanmar. So far, the government is unable to implement a large-scale educational reform that would involve additional financing for schools. Village schools are particularly affected. Supporting each and every educational investment is a major step towards improving the living conditions of the population. The beneficiaries of the project included young people from the Hnet Pywe Su village and environs (over 500 children in total) who gained better teaching conditions. As part of the project, the Hnet Pywe Su primary school in Wakema township in the southern province of Irrawaddy was expanded with a gym, library and lavatories. Funds were also allocated for new benches, boards, desks, cabinets and shelves, as well as textbooks and teachers’ manuals.
