Yin Ye Monastic School

 

Education is the basis for development in every family and society. With this in mind, in 1992 we established a monastic school in our village (Yin Ye Village, in Depayin Township, Sagaing Division, MYANMAR) for there was no (has not yet been any) government school in the village. Until 2007 it had been affiliated to a government school of a neighboring village.  In 2007 it was registered as a monastic school. Then primary education was offered. In 2010 it was upgraded so that secondary level education is provided.

Our objectives are:

- To promote the education of the underprivileged children;

- To provide "a free education" for all students without any distinction; and

- To introduce the Teachings of the Buddha to them.

In accordance with the objectives, we provide the students from the village and neighboring villages with the opportunity to learn how to read, write, and calculate exactly as taught in government schools; additionally we introduce the Teachings of the Buddha to the children. At present 125 students of male and female are learning at the school enjoying equal rights. The school is self-funded and receives no government grants. Until now we haven't yet offered a free education to them due to insufficient fund. But parents of the students are to pay only a small amount of money, the so-called “monthly tuition fee,” Myanmar Kyat 500 to 1000 (less than US $1) that is meant to cover: 1) the 25 percent (Myanmar Kyat 15, 000) of 4 teachers’ salaries (Myanmar Kyat 120, 000) and 2) the cost of ongoing school construction that has been completed by about 60 percent and that is estimated to cost Myanmar Kyat 1, 00, 00, 000 in total. Some parents are so poor that they cannot afford to pay any fees for their children. As a result, the poorest children often consider leaving the school, and we have to encourage them to stay. However, we hope that the school, one day, will surely be a free education center for children when a sufficient fund is established.

We believe that the surplus of the rich may effectively and efficiently be put to use for the benefit of the poor and needy. You may have heard the following story: Once a young student removed the door-curtain to his house and gave it to a poor person, telling his mother “The door does not feel the cold but the poor certainly do.” Such a kind heart is highly commendable. If you are willing to help the underprivileged children studying at the school, please contact our representatives in your region, or you may get in touch with the school’s supporting groups. You may also come to the school directly to offer either supports or thoughtful ideas. Donations in any amount or suggestions for the betterment of the school will have a great impact on the children in need, and will surely change their life for the better.
