Regarding query of
Dr Than Aung, an MP of

China will have to be paid
back in eight years.
Thura U Aung Ko, an
MP of Kanpetlet constituency,
asked the plans on
proper use of international
grants and loans. Deputy
Minister Daw Lei Lei
Thein for National Planning
and Economic Development
said the ministry
has formed two committees

education deputy minister: Nay Pyi Taw, 23 Feb
— Deputy Minister for Education
U Thant Shin discussed
on the suggestion of
U Salai Khwe Yan of Chin
State?s No 12 constituency
for development of school
libraries across the country.
In reply to the ethnic
MP at Amyotha Hluttaw
on Monday, U Thant Shin
said that libraries in the
state-run schools are now
operating as a ?learning environment?
to support both
children and teachers.
He also said Ministry
of Education is persuading
the school children to
develop reading habit, and
setting up mobile libraries
in cooperation with Ministry
of Information.
Defence Services Personnel
representative Major
Kyaw Nu Maw also said
that libraries are knowledge
banks for all people and annual
fund will be needed to
set up school libraries traditionally
or digitally.
U Thein Hlaing, an
MP of Sagaing Region
constituency 8, said slow
development of libraries
in the country is due to the
lack of skills by librarians
and of reading habit among
the people, especially in rural
areas.
Another military representative
said education sector must be promoted
to become a modernized
country, and both the government
and communities
should support for the
emergence of libraries in
more than 40,000 state-run
schools.
U Bo Rei, an MP of
Kayah State constituency
3, said books and libraries
are true friends of children
as knowledge banks.
Daw Khin Waing Kyi,
an MP of Yangon Region
constituency 1, said, a
wide knowledge could help
someone in making right
decision.
U Aung Cho Oo, an
MP of Bago Region constituency
11, also suggested
libraries should be developed
through modern
technologies.
Amyotha Hluttaw then
decided to keep records of
these discussion.".....
