Support for Education: Donation of cash and school supplies for students

Schools across Myanmar, including monastic schools and nunnery, are preparing to reopen on June 1 for the new academic year.

As part of ongoing educational support, donation activities were held at the Khay Mar Yama Nunnery in Thanlyin Township, where donors contributed cash and school supplies for around one thousand students. The contributions were made to support learning resources and improve school conditions ahead of the new academic year.

Donors, Tin Maung Myint said "Contributing to education is a meaningful way to support the future of young students. I am very satisfied for being able to participate in the charity program."

Donor, Khin Aye Kyi said "I am happy to contribute to the school and its students. The donation includes school supplies such as stationery needed for the students. I will continue to donate for the school."

Educators highlighted the importance of community involvement in strengthening education which continue to play a key role in providing accessible education across the country.

Dr. Sandar, Patron Nun, Khay Mar Yama Nunnery said "The school continues to prioritize accessible education for all students through community support and donation-based assistance in addition to the government support. Providing free educational materials helps reduce the burden on families and encourages higher school attendance. We really appreciate for the contribution of the donors."

Aye Mu, Middle School Teacher said "The donation program plays a key role in supporting teaching and learning activities. Students are more motivated when they are provided with sufficient learning materials and a supportive environment."

Enrollment for all grades will be conducted from May 25 to 31, including weekends, as part of nationwide preparations for the 2026–2027 academic year. It is learnt that students will receive free textbooks, notebooks, stationery, and uniforms, with no enrollment fees required. The move aims to promote equal access to education and reduce financial burdens on families.
