Japan – Myanmar Aung San Vocational Training Institute (JMASVTI) was opened in Singu Ward, Insein Township

YANGON- The opening ceremony of the Japan-Myanmar Aung San Vocational Training Institute (JMASVTI) was held in conjunction with the stake-driving ceremony at the institute in Singu Ward, Insein Township, Yangon, yesterday morning.

The JMASVTI project is funded by the Japanese government and is being built on the grounds of the former technical high school (Aung San) and equipped with necessary apparatuses.

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) had signed an agreement with Myanmar in December 2018 to establish JMASVTI.

Present on the occasion were Upper House’s Deputy Speaker Aye Tha Aung, Education Minister Dr Myo Thein Gyi, Yangon Region Chief Minister Phyo Min Thein and his cabinet members, Regional Parliament Speaker Tin Maung Tun, the Japanese Ambassador, appointed officials from JICA and JMASVTI.

“The JMASVTI can bring high-skilled labour and create job opportunities for youths and students. We are very proud of the cooperation between Myanmar and Japan,” said Education Minister Dr Myo Thein Gyi.

The three-year course in Automobile Maintenance and Industrial Electrical Engineering for an AGTI Diploma will start in December.

Each course will accept up to 20 trainees per batch, who will be selected depending on the marks of English and Maths Subjects in the matriculation exam.

The Japanese Government provided 2.726 billion Yen for the implementation of Japan-Myanmar Aung San Vocational Training Institute.
