"It didn't matter what I studied," the 19-year-old says. "I just knew I needed a degree to find a good job and earn a decent salary to support my family."

She had been living as a refugee in Mae Sot, a Thai border town, after fleeing the devastating war in Myanmar.

Ma Naw Phaw had just started secondary school when Myanmar's military overthrew the democratically elected government in February 2021.

It crippled education as thousands of teachers left their roles, and students like Ma Naw Phaw refused to enrol in junta-controlled schools.
