The Government of Japan , under the Japan 's Grassroots Grant Assistance Scheme (GGA) , will provide a grant aid of US$ 85,979 to “Popayon Monastic School Construction Committee” for construction of Popayon Monastic School in Shardaw Village in Myingyan Township , Mandalay Division.
This monastic school was established in 1965 to provide formal education to 500 children from Shardaw and neighboring villages. Since the opening, the classes have been conducted in bamboo buildings, which need repair or reconstruction every two or three years, in the monastery compound. To cope with the issue, the Government of Japan will provide funding through its GGA Programme for construction of a two-storeyed reinforced concrete school building comprised of 9 classrooms and an office, school furniture and water and sanitation facilities. It is expected that the improved learning environment will benefit the students in their pursuit of formal studies and strengthen existing friendly relations between Japan and Myanmar .
The Grant Contract to this effect was signed on 7 December 2006 at the Embassy of Japan in Yangon , between Mr. Tetsuro Amano, Minister/Deputy C hief of M iss io n , Embassy of Japan to the Union of Myanmar, and U Sein Myint, Chairman of “ Popayon Monastic School Construction Committee”.
