New Delhi (Mizzima) – About 400 teachers from middle and high schools in Rangoon have been ordered by the Burmese junta’s Ministry of Education to draw up lists of people eligible to vote in the forthcoming elections, according to teachers.
Teachers have to enter the list on computers at the information technology section of the Basic Education Department No. (3) in Kyeemyindaing Township.
“Teachers from our school have to go to the Basic Education Department to draw up a list of people who are eligible to vote. But, I don’t know in detail”, a teacher from Basic Education High School No. (3), in the same township, told Mizzima.
A teacher from Basic Education High School No. (2), in Dagon Township, confirmed she and her colleagues had been told to go to the department to prepare the lists.
An employee from the department told Mizzima also confirmed the basic facts of the requirement but was unable to add anything more: “I don’t know in detail. You can ask my superiors when they are available.”
Rangoon has about 240 middle schools, more than 300,000 middle school students and 10,000 teachers, and 160 high schools with more than 120,000 students and 3,600 teachers, according to Wikipedia.
