The Government of Japan, under its Grassroots Grant Assistance (GGA) Scheme, granted US$ 78,314for the project for construction of Kambawza Shan Kyaunggyi Monastic Primary School in ShanState on November 18 2008.One story building and related facilities, constructed under GGA Scheme, were handed over byMr. Hisanori Yoshimura, Second Secretary of Embassy of Japan to the School Construction commitee onJune 30, 2009.
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.
