Every morning at 8:30am, we pause while the Myanmar National Anthem is played. Pursuant to a directive from the Myanmar Ministry of Education, our Myanmar students are now required to stand and sing the anthem. Our students are learning to sing the anthem in Myanmar Studies classes and from Monday, we will be asking all students to stand and Myanmar students are asked to sing it together in class.Students from other nationalities are welcome to sing if they wish to.
