| The Government of Japan, under its Grassroots Grant Assistance (GGA) Scheme, granted US$ 83,984 for the reconstruction of Cyclone Nargis-affected school, Aye Ywa Lay Primary School in Htan Ta PinTownship, Yangon Division on October 23, 2009.
Two one-story buildings with 4 classrooms, toilets and school furniture, which were reconstructed under GGA Scheme for the school, were handed over by Mr. Mitsuji SUZUKA, Counsellor of Japanese Embassy to the authorities concerned on July8, 2010 at the school. At the ceremony, the chairman of TPDC and Htan Ta Pin Township Education Officer expressed their gratitude to the Japanese assistance.
Previous one of the school buildings was damaged and the other was destroyed by Cyclone Nargis two years ago. These new buildings and related facilities provided under Japan’s assistance scheme are expected to improve the children’s learning environment.
In order to create a better educational environment for children, the Government of Japan will continue to provide funding through its GGA Scheme for reconstruction of school buildings. It is expected that this assistance will benefit students in their pursuit of formal studies, thereby further strengthening existing friendly relations between Japan and Myanmar.
