TEN outstanding cadets from the Institute of Marine Technology
left Myanmar on July 2 for a six-month training program run by
the Korea Institute of Marine and Fisheries Technology, said U
Win Thein, the principal of IMT.
“The top 10 IMT students from the 2006-2007 academic year
were selected for training aboard a South Korean ship called Han
Ban Do,” he said.
Students in the program are provided with accommodation, meals,
travel expenses, workers’ insurance and a monthly stipend
of US$100, he said.
IMT will soon start accepting applications for its two-year diploma
in nautical studies program for the 2007-2008 academic year.
Last year the institute accepted 300 students who scored above
390 on their matriculation exams.
