AT the sixth-day event of the Amyotha Hluttaw yesterday, Deputy Minister for Electricity and Energy U Aye Kyaw replied to questions raised by U Tin Myo Zaw from the Magway Region Constituency 2 and Nang Woe Sein from the Shan State Constituency 12. He replied that as the allocated budget for providing electricity to Myinsaing Village of Magway Township is insufficient, only the construction of 3.51 miles of the 11 kV power line out of the total 5.2 miles of 11 kV power line, along with the installation of one 11/0.4 kV, 200 kVA transformer, can be included in the plan. The work, with an estimated cost of K496.351 million, will be implemented under the Regional Government Fund in the 2026-2027 financial year.
The remaining approximately 1.69 miles of 11 kV power line construction, with an estimated cost of about K206 million, will be further proposed for inclusion under the Regional Government’s supplementary fund or general surplus fund for the 2026-2027 FY, and arrangements will be made for its implementation.
In order to supply electricity to Tongtah of Mongping Township through the national power grid, the construction of the 33-mile Mongping-Tongtah 66 kV tower power line and one 66/11 kV, 5 MVA substation will be planned for implementation. The power line survey and measurement work will commence in the 2027-2028 FY, and starting from the 2028-2029 FY, the project will continue to be included in the plans and implemented subject to the availability of approved funds.
Deputy Minister for Education U Nay Myo Hlaing responded to the questions raised by Daw Mie Mie Kyaw Tun from the Kachin State Constituency 4. He said that Grade 12 students are being assessed and selected in accordance with established criteria, and a “Basic Education High School Completion Certificate” is being issued, which will enable them to access more employment opportunities. The Ministry of Education continuously conducts field supervision and data collection to accurately assess the real situation on the ground — such as improvements or declines in teaching and learning, increases or decreases in student numbers, and the opening or temporary closure of schools. It systematically monitors and analyzes these conditions on an ongoing basis and provides necessary support and assistance accordingly. In addition, it is also coordinating and cooperating with local authorities and relevant ministries.
Amyotha Hluttaw Speaker U Aung Lin Dwe announced the formation of the Border Region, Ethnic Affairs and Peace Committee, chaired by Dr Manam Tu Jan from the Kachin State Constituency 12, with the approval of the Amyotha Hluttaw.
Hluttaw Representatives discussed the motion urging the Union government to promptly address and fulfil the shortage of teachers in basic education schools, tabled by U Aung Chit Lwin from the Sagaing Region Constituency 2. Deputy Minister for Education U Nay Myo Hlaing responded to the discussions, and he remarked that aspiring teachers who value the teaching profession and possess a sense of patriotism and national spirit can attend teacher training programmes, and that the shortage of qualified teachers is addressed in a timely manner, is a long-term task that cannot be undertaken solely by the State and the Ministry of Education. It requires the cooperation and participation of all parents and the public as a whole.
According to the request of the proposer, the Speaker announced that the motion was put on record. The Amyotha Hluttaw will continue on 18 June.
