The Karenni Medical College, located in the jungles of eastern Myanmar, provides education despite the dire circumstances of ongoing military conflict. Founded by students and professors in rebellion-controlled territory, the school symbolizes hope for a democratic future. Students like Khuu Nay Reh Win face daily dangers, from military airstrikes to local wildlife, yet they remain committed to their education. With limited resources, the college and similar institutions aim to prevent a generation from losing out on opportunities amidst the civil war, as thousands face violence, imprisonment, and displacement.
The environment is challenging for students at Karenni Medical College, but they persist, believing education is essential to building a future where democracy can thrive.
Dr. Myo Khant Ko Ko stressed the urgency of continuing education amidst conflict, fearing that prolonged disruption could derail the ambitions of young people across Myanmar.
