Hosted by the BBC Burmese journalist,Thet Htwe Naing, this edition of Lut Latt Ah Twe, Swey Nway Pe Lair invites young people to discuss what they expect from the government they have elected – and what they themselves can do to help their expectations come to pass.
Using this unique opportunity for face-to-face engagement with the country’s leading public figures, the audience will talk about their experiences in the job market; empowering young people; how the country’s education system should develop – and other issues that matter to them.
