Build a progressive nation: Nurturing educated and empowered youth

The cornerstone of building a modern nation rests on the robust capabilities of well-versed youth. Education serves as a conduit for acquiring knowledge and wisdom, enabling individuals to evaluate the distinctions between right and wrong critically. Wisdom, cultivated through the pursuit of knowledge and a willingness to analyze the living and non-living facets of society, imbues the educated with the ability to assess and emotionally connect with their learning.

 

Education and knowledge extend beyond the confines of books, permeating the societal and environmental spheres. Mere acquisi­tion of degrees and titles falls short if individuals lack the capacity to delve into the essence of education and knowledge. Recognizing that learning is a perpetual journey, all members of society must pos­sess the aptitude for criticism and analysis that transcends conventional textbooks.

 

Acknowledging that wis­dom enhances not only human knowledge but also moulds mindsets, it becomes a valu­able tool for comprehending history and catalyzing societal improvement. Education and knowledge, when rooted in wisdom, possess the potential to advance technology, geog­raphy, and all forms of science and arts. By applying this ho­listic approach, individuals can harness the strength and capacity to explore the world, contributing to creating a bet­ter society.

 

In the context of Myan­mar’s developmental trajec­tory, the nation necessitates a formidable reservoir of human resources. The cultivation of qualified individuals hinges on a foundation of education and knowledge. Those endowed with education and knowledge must elevate themselves to embody wisdom, becoming catalysts for leading comprehensive development processes within the country. Consequently, youths must actively pursue both formal school education and experiential learning from society to equip themselves with the powerful tools of knowledge, education, and technology essential for shaping the nation.

 

Presently, the government underscores the importance of a comprehensive education system to empower the populace with advanced knowledge and technology. This strategic emphasis aligns with the country’s developmental aspirations, including the burgeoning manufacturing sector. Youth, therefore, must initiate their educational journey during their formative years, acquiring foundational knowledge before engaging with societal challenges. As adults, they must actively seek relevant knowledge and techniques to enhance their capacity for successful engagement in various arenas.

 

As now is an education age, every citizen of Myanmar needs to improve their human resources to be deployed in nation-build­ing tasks. Well-versed youths will be reliable for the State and the people. Their capability will be a basic source for turning out highly qualified new generations so as to uplift the prestige and integrity of the nation and the nationality.
