CHIANG MAI/YANGON BORDER: In the border regions of Myanmar, where civilians dodge air raids and artillery fire daily, many students have found new ways to continue their education.

“School” is often a tarpaulin shelter in the jungle, with “classrooms” dispersed over a wide area to avoid the attention of the Myanmar junta, which is fighting groups resisting its rule.
