Significado
The act of leaving for school.
Contexto cultural
The school year starts in June, which is the beginning of the rainy season. 'Going to school' often involves carrying an umbrella and wearing plastic slippers. In rural areas, many children still go to 'Hpongyi Kyaung' (monastery schools) for basic literacy and religious education. The phrase remains the same. School uniforms (green and white) are mandatory. Seeing students 'going to school' in their uniforms is a sign of national discipline and pride. On the way to school, students are taught to be mindful. Teachers are highly respected, and 'going to school' is seen as going to a place of merit.
