Myanmar, Japan to open vocational training school

 October 5, 2017

A technical and vocational training school is being planned in co-operation with the Japanese government, according to a report in the Myawady Daily yesterday.

“To be able to open the training school, the Japanese government is still negotiating with the Myanmar government. The training school will be constructed in the Greater Yangon Area. The Japanese government will provide technical assistance, which is necessary for the training school. Implementation of the project will take two years,” said Mr. Tateshi Higuchi, the ambassador of Japan to Myanmar.

“We still need to prepare for the choosing of a site to construct the school building, the hiring of both expatriate and local trainers and drawing the syllabus and curriculum to be able to open the training school, he added. Upon completion of construction, the vocational training school in Yangon will conduct training courses on pharmaceutical manufacturing, engine technology and computer technology. Upon completion of training, the school will create projects for the trainees to be able to qualify for decently paying jobs. The projects will include road transportation and ICT.
