THIS morning I watched a video presentation on the MRTV about a small/ medium industry enterprise in the Mon State which is making traditional writing slates that we used in our primary school days to write on. The slates, we were informed, are being distributed all over the country. Hence there is a market for the slates as an alternative to the modern day electronic “Tablets” which serves basically the same purpose as far as the primary students’ needs are concerned, but are only accessible to those who can afford them.
