The Government of Japan, under its Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Projects (GGP) Scheme, has extended the assistance of US$91,996 for humanitarian assistance program entitled “The Project for Construction of Kangyi Village Basic Education Primary School in Mandalay Region” in 2012.
The hand-over and opening ceremony was held at the said Kangyi Village Basic Education Primary School in Mahlaing Township on December 20, 2013. The ceremony was attended by Mr. Go NAKAYA, Second Secretary of the Embassy of Japan, U Shwe Nan, Luttaw Representative of Mandalay Region, Daw San Yee, Mahlaing Township Education Officer, U Aung Thein Hlaing, Mahlaing Township Administrator, the departmental officials of Mandalay Region, School Building Construction Committee members, students and local people.
The Primary School opened at Kangyi Village in 1968 and students of four near-by villages are also attending the Kangyi Basic Education Primary School. Although the number of students have reached around 150 last year, the school did not have appropriate school buildings and classrooms.
Under such circumstances, the Government of Japan provided funding for construction of one storeyed RC school building with 5 classrooms, toilets, and school furniture for Kangyi Village Primary School through its GGP Scheme. The number of school built under the GGP scheme is 279 since 1993. It is expected that this assistance will provide the students with better learning and sanitation environment and further strengthen existing friendly relations between Japan and Myanmar.
