Every year, the Ministry of Education selects all-around outstanding youths (Luyeechun, in Burmese) from high schools all over the country. In late April, these selected youths from all 14 states and regions come together at youth camps in Bagan, Innlay, and Ngwe Saung. At these youth camps, they attend seminars, visit famous landmarks, excurse local culture and businesses, and share their different perspectives on local issues.
To become a Luyeechun, a student has to pass three-level: school-level, township-level, and district-level. In each level, he has to take written-tests in Myanmar, English, Mathematics, and General Knowledge, sit for a verbal interview, and compete in sports, which include 800-meter run, 100-meter sprint, push-ups, and standing long jump.
Htet Myet was selected as an all-around outstanding student (Luyeechun) of Western District, Yangon Region for three consecutive years, in 2016, 2017, and 2018. Therefore, he gained the opportunity to participate in all three youth camps, Bagan Camp, Innlay Camp, and Ngwe Saung Camp, in 2016, 2017, and 2018 respectively.
