Five institutions of higher learning in Myanmar will be upgraded to government technical colleges (GTCs) in the 2022-23 academic year, including one in Kyaukphyu, Arakan State.
U Aung Mon, the principal of Kyaukphyu Government Technological Institute, told DMG that the Department of Advanced Science had received a letter on January 10 authorising the opening of a GTC in Kyaukphyu.
“Permission was granted to start a Bachelor of Technology degree. In the past, students were conferred a Bachelor of Engineering,” he explained.
Government technological institutes (GTIs) in Shwebo, Mandalay, Kyaukphyu, South Dagon, and Nay Pyi Taw will be upgraded to GTCs.
