February 26, 2018

The basic education final examinations for grade 5 and grade 9 are being held countrywide from 19 February in examination centres across the states/regions, while the last subject of the grade 9 final examination was held in Rakhine State, Maungtaw Town, yesterday morning.

Head mistress of Maungtaw Township Basic Education High School (2) Daw Hla Myint Thein said, “The fourth standard and eighth standard examinations started on 19 February, and the fourth standard examination was completed on 23 February.

The examination for the final subject for the eighth standard will be held today.”

Headmaster of Maungtaw Basic Education High School (1) [BEHS (1)] U Aung Myint Thein said, “Hindus who were displaced by terrorist acts were temporarily put in at BEHS (1), so students from BEHS (1) took the examination on the second floor of BEHS (2), while students from BEHS (2) took the examination on the ground floor of BEHS (2).

This is how two examination centres were combined into one centre for convenience.”

According to the record of the office of the head of township education, Maungtaw Township had more than 3,140 class 4 students, of which more than 1,700 are sitting for the final examination across 93 examination centres, while 15 examination centres were opened for 1,541 class 8 students, of which 777 students sat for the final examination.

Examination entrance cards are being issued since 19 February for the matriculation examination to be held on 7 March. Three examination centres have been opened in Maungtaw Township for the matriculation examination, of which two were in BEHS (1) and another was in BEHS (2).

There are some 878 students, but there can be some changes in the number, according to head of education department of Maungtaw Township.
