Qualified ones from THS, basic education high school arranged to join GTI, undergraduate courses

Arrangements have been made to give training to trainees to be able to inspect quality of agricultural equipment manufactured at home and abroad and turn out qualified agricultural machinery operators and produce skilled agricultural machinery operators, said Union Minister for Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation U Tin Htut Oo on 9 July in meeting with officials from Myanmar Agricultural Equipment Factory (Ingon) in Kyaukse township, Mandalay Region.
He also unveiled the plan to train those who completed the technical high school and basic education high school to become internationally certified skilled technicians and make a bridge for qualified ones to learn at Government Technical Institute and undergraduate courses.
Due to the scarcity of farm labour and climate change, it is necessary to use agricultural implements on a wider scale for timely cultivation and production. He noted that the ministry encourages investments of citizens and foreigners for meeting the needs. As a result, he urged businesspersons to make arrangements to ensure that farmers have easy access to high quality agricultural implements.—MNA
