The Government of Japan, under it s Grassroots Grant Assistance (GGA) Scheme , granted US$ 78,314 for a humanitarian assistance program entitled “The project for construction of Kambawza Shan Kyaunggyi Monastic Primary School in Kyaukme Township , Northern Shan S tate ” .
Mr. Kazuyuki Takeuchi , Minister / Counselor, Deputy Chief of Mission of the Embassy of Japan in the Union of Myanmar, and U Hla Ngwe , the Chairman of Kambawza Shan Kyaunggyi Monastic Education Working Committee , signed the grant contract on 18 November 200 8 .
This monastery started to provide formal education to school children, including orphans, using their monastic building in 1994. Good quality of its education and low school fee has made the monastic school quite popular. Although many students are waiting to attend the school, they have not been able to be accepted due to the shortage of classrooms.
In order to enable the monastic school to provide a better learning environment, a one-storey reinforced concrete school building comprised of 6 classrooms and school furniture will be funded under Japan 's GGA programme. This assistance is expected to benefit the students in their pursuit of formal studies and strengthen existing friendly relations between Japan and Myanmar .
