Students of the University of Technology in Kalamyo have said they are boycotting re-examination of some papers as announced by the head of the university after some answer papers were stolen. On September 17th, the head office of the university was robbed and some examinations appear to have been taken. Dr. Aung Zaw Lin, head of the university, announced a re-examination for those who wrote the missing papers on September 18th.
The students in a statement said that they are boycotting the re-examination because they have already sat for their examination per guidelines of the Ministry of Science and Technology Department. The missing answers are the responsibility of office staff, not students. The students said they have already appeared for their examination on September 8th as required for all students throughout the country.
Although there is no information about which papers are missing, office staff reported the theft to the police.
Meanwhile, the students’ union has demanded that the university reveal which papers are missing and demanded their recovery immediately, as is it very shameful for the university, the statement said.
