Moreh (Imphal), May 9 : With the opening of formal border trade between India and Myanmar through Moreh and Tamu, a number of Myanmarese students are flocking to Moreh in Manipur to learn English.
Over 100 students are currently taking English lessons in about 20 private schools in Moreh from nursery to class tenth.
"We need good infrastructure, library, game materials and many things to take help from the government," Lalrintluonga, headmaster, Lorraine English Junior High School, Moreh.
"I would like to request the government of India and Burma to take initiative for English education at Moreh. If it happens then it will be very helpful and I can expect and ensure that there will be a lot of improvement," Mangzagin Zou, teacher, Bethsaida Academy Moreh.
Moreh is popular with the Myanmarese students, as they do not get an opportunity to study English in their country.
Students coming here are mostly the wards of cultivators and businessman. They are very serious about their studies and at times even when the border between the two countries is closed they still manage to land up at the schools.
Over the years both India and Myanmar have been working to build stronger ties. And the arrival of students from Myanmar to India can only help speed up this process.
