Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing presented prizes to outstanding students who passed the matriculation examination 2024 with distinctions in all subjects at Myanmar International Convention Centre II in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday morning.
Speaking on the occasion, the Senior General noted that in building the Union based on a genuinely disciplined democratic and federal system, emphasis must be placed on turning the human resources blessed with knowledge, technology, personal qualification and capacity.
He recognized all persons who participated in the measures to develop the nation through education as a national duty.
The Senior General unveiled that this year’s ceremony will deservedly honour 507 students winning all distinctions in the matriculation examination 2024 nationwide with a 0.5-tical gold coin each.
A plan is underway to make arrangements for 30 top-marked students in relevant subject combinations in the matriculation examination to join an excursion tour abroad this year.
The Senior General urged all outstanding students to continue learning without satisfaction with just knowledge from the classroom and to become highly qualified human resources.
In line with the motto “The strength of the nation lies within”, he highlighted that undertaking the development tasks of the country requires intellectuals and intelligentsia in the arts and science world. Hence, youths have to emphasize studying both arts and science subjects, he added.
