Receiving President’s Advisory Guidance: Outstanding students received President’s guidance

“Dear Youth, you must strive to enhance your speech, conduct, and actions in accordance with the honor and status you have received as 'Outstanding Students.'

You need to live with a balance between self and others, constantly seek out the progressive methods of the modern era, and at the same time, preserve and protect Myanmar's identity, Myanmar's character, and Myanmar's traditional cultural customs from fading away. You must observe the ethics appropriate for youth, such as filial duties and student duties, respect your parents and teachers, and cultivate fundamental virtues like compassion and tolerance in accordance with religious teachings.

I urge you to work diligently to become role models whom others respect and emulate."
