Basic Education High School Officials in Mawlamyine extort money for new student registration
June 26, 2024
HURFOM: Parents whose students attend number 9 Basic Education High School (BEHS) report that school officials are demanding 100,000 MMK for new student registrations.
“The new student needs permission from the headmistress to be registered. The registration fee for new students now costs nearly 100,000 MMK. Also, one family member must be an alumnus of the school. The rich can afford the registration but many parents have decided to register their children in other schools,” said one parent familiar with the new process.
The headmistress is the wife of a major in the military junta and monetary bribes and other gifts make the registration process for new students smooth, according to the students’ parents.
The BEHS #9 in Mawlamyine has a high matriculation exam pass rate every year and produced many outstanding students.
The last week of May, 2024 was the school registration period for 2024-25 academic year and all basic education schools across Burma opened on June 3rd, 2024.
