The Luyeechon Selection Examination, officially Outstanding Student Selection Examination (Burmese: လူရည်ချွန် ရွေးချယ်ရေး စာမေးပွဲ) is a long-standing educational initiative of Myanmar that has evolved over decades, producing numerous exemplary citizens.
History
[edit]The Luyeechon Project (လူရည်ချွန် စီမံကိန်း) commenced in the 1963-1964 academic year, with the first outstanding students emerging in 1964. Initially, selections were made from Grades 7 to 10. In subsequent years, the program expanded to include university and college students. Annual selections continued up to 1988, marking the 25th Silver Jubilee of the Luyeechon Project. After a hiatus starting in 1988, the project was revived in 2013 under the name Multidisciplinary Outstanding Youth Project (ဘက်စုံပညာ ထူးချွန်လူငယ် စီမံကိန်း).[1] In 2014, marking the 50th Golden Jubilee of the project's inception, Luyeechon alumni from across the country formed the "Luyeechon (1964-88) Association".[2] In 2018, the project reverted to its original name, Luyeechon Project. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was temporarily suspended from the 2019-2020 academic year but resumed in the 2022-2023 academic year. With the new education system, selections have been made from Grades 9 to 12 starting from the 2023-2024 academic year.[3]
Objectives
[edit]As a national social initiative, the project aims to "enhance multidisciplinary education to cultivate the human resources necessary for building a modern, developed democratic nation". To achieve this goal, continuous efforts are made to nurture future generations in the coming academic years.
