Children in Burma cannot even attend school safely as the junta deliberately undermines their access by not hesitating to drop bombs or conduct indiscriminate attacks. A generation of children risks losing educational opportunities, denied by the military.
The National Unity Government (NUG) ordered all schools under its administration to temporarily close on Sunday until further notice as a precaution against regime airstrikes.
