Student Body
TTC Yangon has a large student body in Yangon and in Myanmar, numbering near 9000. The students are spread across eleven standards or grades, from Grade 1 (formerly Kindergarten of KG) to Grade 11 (formerly Tenth Standard, colloquially sei-dan)
For many years, TTC students have a tradition of putting the right finger at the lip and say “kyan mar shwin lan kya par sae” *_က်န္းမာရြင္လန္းပါေစ ဆရာ/ဆရာမ_*
(good health to you) to the teachers. This is a unique tradition to show respect to the teachers. Even TTC alumni commonly greets their former teachers by putting their right fingers on the lips.Read more about this topic: Practising School Yangon Institute Of Education
