Distance Education: Efforts to improve distance education system

Efforts are being made to improve teaching methods in the distance education system, including changes to assignment submission procedures in the second semester.

Union Minister for Education Dr Chaw Chaw Sein made the remarks during her visit to East Yangon University on Saturday. She said that, under the new system, students are required to attend classes during the second semester to complete their assignments.

She urged faculty members to make necessary preparations to provide effective teaching to students, as amendments will also be made to assessment questions.

She stressed the importance of guiding students to understand and appreciate the Myanmar language and history so that they will cherish their country and foster patriotic spirit and national pride. This will also help them gain confidence in delivering presentations during exchange programmes. She called for cooperation among all concerned persons to further improve the distance education system.

The Union Minister also visited the Yangon University of Distance Education, where she observed students attending lectures.
