Majority is Karen in school so that school committee started to plan for teaching Karen literacy as a extra class at the weened. They have exam after one month and gave the price  to students who got the higher mark in Karen new year.  

School Background

Community Background
            Karen Students’ Center was established in 1971 by U Saw Thar Mya Aung. Before the school set up into Karen Students’ Center it was as a small dormitory. Then it built by bamboo in neighbor’s land. Land owner is Karen woman who motivated education and she donate the land to build the dormitory. The dormitory’s mission is Karen young people who are from rural area and can continue their High School and to improve their education. Therefore, Karen literature committee started to plan for Karen young people to continue their education by staying in dormitory in town. Before the dormitory existed female students from rural area was treated by house owner husband because they have to stay in other people house to continue their education,
            In 1973, Karen literature committee planned to build a new dormitory with wood. The reason is within two year number of students are increasing 20 people to 50 people. In this case villagers from Hling Bway Township that they donate wood for building dormitory. Then, Karen public also donate some fund as much as they can support. Consequently it was completed successfully and many Karen students could continue their education till 2014.
Now, Karen Students’ Center opened by 2002. It was supported by Karen literature committee, Donors from Japan, Karen monks and Karen general Bo Moe Chit Thu to build for this 3 layers of dormitory in new own land. Furthermore, there are one more new building for girl dormitory. Before the new building have done, Karen Students’ Center alumni students make fundraising by selling raffle ticket and distribute to the villages around Karen state.
 Karen Students’ Center exist as a private school since 2014. Currently, there are two dormitory for 83 male students and 172 female students and, 39 staff who live in dormitory. At present, they still provide bordering for students.The school’s curriculum is based on Burmese Curriculum. There are six subjects which are Burmese, Science, Math, Geography, History and English. Moreover, they have extra curriculum such as Karen literature and computer class.
Every years, students and teacher have to find the school fundraising by singing song around the Hpa.an area for celebrate Karen New Year and for running school cost such as for teacher salary. The reason that Karen Students’ Center does not have any donors to support us. Therefore, students and teacher try to provide the school to be stable for Karen people in the future.Currently, there are 255 students who live in dormitory and studying in Karen Students’ Center are facing food problem. The reason is there are not enough space to store the firewood in rainy season. It make rice uncooked.
Every years, students have to pay money for school feel. It also depends on the food price such as if the food price is higher school feel is increase each year. However, school does not work as a business that it only focus on students who cannot continue their Higher education. In Karen Students’ Center, students have to give only 600,000 Kyat instead of paying 120,000 Kyat in other dormitory. Furthermore, school has limited for paying school feel such as dividing 3 times in a year. The reason is students who are from poor family so that they cannot give all money at a time.
            In Karen Students’ Center, they have rules for students such as they have to wear only Karen Hlone kyi and no discrimination between each other. However, school is not only looking for education but also trying to empathize their feeling and trained their ethical to be in a good person because students are from different background.
