Yangon:
More than 60,000 Myanmar students must recapture the entrance exams of the university after their answer documents were burned in a fire caused by last month's earthquake, the state media said Tuesday.
The Magnitude-7.7 earthquake killed more than 3,700 people while the buildings rowed in the central belt of Myanmar with destruction, with destruction aimed at the second most popular city of Mandalay.
In the subsequent chaos, a fire broke out at Mandalay University, in which papers were destroyed from 62,954 high school students from northern regions that were marked, the military government said at the time.
“The answer sheets were destroyed in a fire because of the serious earthquake,” said Staatsmedia on Tuesday. “We are going to keep the admission exams again from June 16 to June 21.”
The Matriculation exams of Myanmar are a transitional ritual for teenagers who determine the course of their future studies.
According to the state media, around 130,000 students have established the exams.
The Mandalay University Blaze destroyed more than 375,000 individual papers of students in the regions of Mandalay and Sagaing – both poorly affected by the Tremor of March 28 – as well as Kachin, the army said.
According to the United Nations, more than 60,000 people live in Tent camps in the aftermath.
The army grabbed power in a coup of 2021, which ended a short period of democratic reform and a versatile civil war was missing.
The earthquake has worsened their problems. UNICEF estimates that 2.7 million children live in areas that are most struck by the shock, so that according to NASA analysis, the land shifts up to six meters (20 feet).
