The Ministry of Education made the announcement in response to media inquiries about how the gang-bullying of students in Myaungmya took place.

The Ministry of Education announced that the school disciplinary committee called the student and the parents of the fight and questioned them about the matter on November 19.

The Ministry of Education announced that the two Grade-7 and Grade-9 students who beat the Grade-6 student in the video were thoroughly questioned and that the student who was beaten was the victim and no action was taken. The two students who beat and the Grade-7 student who recorded the incident were returned to their parents by the school disciplinary committee for violating school rules and were made to sign a notice to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future.

The Ministry of Education announced that this incident did not occur in the 2025-2026 academic year, and that the school is taking measures to prevent such incidents from happening again, and that an unknown account, which is still under investigation, re-posted the video from last year on social media.
