I was delighted learn from the Doctor of the success of three of the young people from 'Future Generation' in receiving 'Outstanding Student' awards.
Outstanding Students, Future Generation D.I.C.
In my own country, rather curious ideas seem to have taken over education which can be summarised as "All must have prizes". Testing has been downgraded and failure is not recognised. Whilst I agree that young people should not be humiliated for finding difficulty with learning, removing the urge to strive helps no-one. When young people grow up, the world outside will certainly punish failure so preparing them at an earlier age in a sympathetic environment is a kindness. Education in Burma remains similar to what I was used to all those years ago when I was at school. I didn't enjoy it much at the time, but I was better prepared for adult life.
Congratulations!
