This Monastic School started to provide formal education in 1996. Since the opening, the school has accepted pupils from a variety of ethnic groups who live in the region. As the number of students has exceeded 2000, the need for a proper schoolhouse became a considerable concern to the people in this area.
In order to provide a better learning environment, the Government of Japan will provide funding through its GGA Programme for construction of a two-storey reinforced concrete school building comprised of 6 classrooms and school furniture.It is expected that this assistance will benefit the students in their pursuit of formal studies and further strengthen existing friendly relations between Japan and Myanmar.
