Phyo Thar - Are you ready to send your child to school?

Access to school

For parents, the anxiety begins when their child is about a year old. They start to wonder what kind of playschool (a place where children who are not old enough to attend school play together under adult supervision) would be appropriate. Then, they have to worry again about securing a place in a government school for kindergarten.

Each school has a specific day and date for admissions. Parents have to take time off from work to get the application.

After filling out the application, the next step is to wait for your turn to receive a notice for an interview. Parents give their children extensive training on how to behave during the interview. Children cannot handle such sudden pressure. They end up getting very angry.

When the day of the meeting arrives, the child's head is filled with all the last-minute instructions his parents have given him. So the child is faced with a group of strangers, asking questions. The child, unable to bear the pressure, looks at his parents with a stern look and keeps his mouth shut.

Parents wait anxiously for the results to come out. If their child does well in the interview and gets a place, their parents' anxiety is replaced by pride.

If the answer is no, it's like the end of the world for the parents. They blame their child for not doing well. They themselves feel guilty for not being able to teach their child to understand.

These are the essence of the struggle that every parent faces in gaining admission to a school. Are you ready to make this a smooth process? If you continue to read and study the sections in this book, you will find it useful.

(A play school is similar to a kindergarten. Although there are differences between the Indian education system and Myanmar, where students have to try repeatedly to get into a school, this book will help you find the answer to why they are accepted into their schools after such an examination.

Today, schools in Myanmar have uniform enrollment times for new students and re-enrollment times for old students nationwide.

In addition, programs are being implemented to ensure that all school-age children can enroll in school.

In any case, there are big schools, good schools, and model schools. Parents have to try to get their children into the school they want.

Although there is no separate selection process for interviewing children and parents, schools tend to select and admit students who they think will be a good fit for their school.

Parents are more important here. They must bear the burden of considering whether their child has the strength to attend this school, whether transportation is convenient, whether the child can keep up with the school, whether the child has been prepared for the school, and whether the child is complete or incomplete.

You will have to study the chapters in the book and do what you should do and avoid what you should avoid.
