"U Tun Maung Win, deputy director general of the Department of Basic Education, said the curriculums for Grade 4, Grade 7 and Grade 10 will be revised simultaneously. “In other countries, they change the curriculum for one level of education per year. Myanmar’s education system is left behind compared with the international community and so we need to change for three levels in one year,” he said on Tuesday. The education official said teachers will be provided training during the summer holidays to get acquainted with the new syllabus. All primary, middle and high school teachers will have to get consecutive trainings for the new curriculums in the next summer,” he said. U Tun Maung Win said the teachers need to be qualified and disciplined in implementing the new curriculums. “The strength of teachers is crucial for the education of the country. The quality of education will improve only if the teachers are qualified,” he said. He said the Ministry of Education is making preparations for the new textbooks to be issued in time, and urged the parents to get familiar with the new education system in order to help their children. Meanwhile, U Ko Lay Win, director general at Basic Education Department , said teachers were directed to conduct review classes to their students when all classes are closed during the examinations of Grade 5 and Grade 9..."
