CPR-A New Grading System for Students in Burma 

Students in Burma need to fill up their marks in the new grading system apart from their acquired marks in the examinations, reported SHAN source from northern Shan State. 

According to the new grading system, a student is also required to obtain a Certificate of Personal Record (CPR) as well as his or her normal scholastic grades, said the source. 

"Marks are given to students who join the SPDC-sponsored Union Solidarity and Development Association, to those who attend their meetings, marches and other activities, to those who please their teachers and especially those who also are paid students at the classes opened privately by these teachers", reported the source. 

"Those who have high marks in the CPR need not worry about not passing their exams", added the source. "This is how the junta aims to keep rebellious students in line". 

General Khin Nyunt, Secretary-1 of the Council, is also Chairman of the National Education Committee.
