The Class 10 board examinations will commence from February 28, while class 12 examinations will be held on March 1.

Mizoram Education Minister States His Concern

Ralte said that state government had earlier issued a notification allowing children of Myanmar nationals to register for the board examinations.

”We decided to give these students a chance, as we don’t want to see their careers getting jeopardised because they were displaced. We have to assist them at least on humanitarian grounds,” he asserted.

According to an official of school education department, over 1,000 children are now enrolled in the state schools for different classes.

Meanwhile, its worthy to note that 6 Mizoram districts – Champhai, Siaha, Lawngtlai, Serchhip, Hnahthial and Saitual – share a 510-km-long international border with Myanmar’s Chin state.
