THE Ministry of Education says that efforts will be made to prepare universities, colleges, and basic education schools damaged by the Mandalay earthquake for the start of the 2025–2026 academic year.

To ensure preparedness, the government will systematically clear dangerous school buildings that have collapsed due to the earthquake as soon as possible. Damaged schools and buildings in the regions and states will be systematically categorized according to three criteria: minor repairs, major repairs, and new construction.

In addition, temporary classrooms and housing will be systematically provided in areas where schools need to reopen in early June. The Ministry of Education, along with education staff, teachers, and parents, will work together to ensure that all school-age children can continue their education in the coming academic year.
