Most schools—especially government schools—were on holiday my first week in Myanmar. But as the number of government schools does not adequately cover the needs of the country, private schools are common. This small one-room school was one of them, taught by an 18-year-old boy from Kyaukme. The kids were relatively well-behaved, getting very excited when we arrived but staying near the school walls and keeping their voices down without a single harsh word from the young teacher.
