Therefore, effective and beneficial research outcomes for the country must be delivered within 100 days through the implementation of planned activities.

Regarding digital education, she emphasized that the Digital Learning Platform must be systematically implemented, with the LMS integrated with AI technologies. She encouraged the use of AI tools to improve the quality of lectures and stressed the need to provide training so that teachers can skillfully use the LMS platform. She added that implementation of the LMS platform should begin with Naypyitaw State Academy.
