The country needs educated persons for its development. Experienced teachers need to teach the students. Threats and destructive acts of some persons not to attend the schools are amounting to destroy the country. Political opportunists do not wish increasing number of educated persons in the country and commit naughty acts making troubles to the people.

Today’s education subjects are in line with the national education policies by the previous governments. Students, teachers, parents, and administrative bodies should strive for ensuring the smooth learning of students. The council is aiming for the smooth process of academic matters.

It is necessary to have technologies suitable for the present era as now is the information technology age. Moreover, all need to have legal and economic knowledge useful in society. Among various subjects at universities, law and economic subjects are much valuable for the practical fields.

As such, arrangements are being made to enable the students to have better knowledge of the law and economic subjects in respective regions and states. The chairman of SAC also pointed out to enhance agriculture and livestock breeding tasks and directed that the education system must be realized to provide training to them for having the skillfulness in respective subjects to be applied directly.

Qualified youths must be settled in the right places. The chairman added that there are many projects such as State-owned projects, joint venture projects in mutual cooperation with the State and private-owned projects regarding land management. It is necessary to scrutinize some land plots which are not applied for the projects not to cause loss to the State. Relevant departments need to supervise the land users to do their projects in line with the agreements from the contracts.

The Senior General stressed the need to avoid the acts of using the farmlands in other ways as much as possible. The Senior General stressed the need to choose the saplings suitable for the regions during proper nursery period for cultivation to have thriving. All the saplings must be grown to thrive for greening all the forests. The Senior General high-lighted the sports sector to give encouragements to athletes to raise their qualification.

It is necessary to strive to construct modern stadiums, gymnasiums and swimming pools in regions and states. The ministries need to hold sports competitions. Encouragement will be given to improve further the sport’s standard of Myanmar in the coming SEA Games.

Then, Union Ministers discussed their respective sectors. Then, the Senior General said that some media one-sidedly express and broadcast the incorrect issues. The Ministry of Information needs to release the necessary laws in coordination with the Office of the Attorney-General of the Union. Fine arts must be for the State but politics and any person.

The Myanmar Press Council must stand on the right track without accepting the influence of political doctrines. The national cultural characters must be preserved. Deterrent action will be taken against anyone who undermines the administrative machinery of the State.

Education staff similar to health staff will be arranged to have assistance depending on the status of their degrees. Service personnel must be qualified for their degrees. They must attend respective training courses at Central Institutes of Civil Service in Phaungyi and Zeebingyi. These institutes give training to all service personnel to abide by disciplines, and the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health and Sports must continue discussions for reopening of training schools.
