On 1st February 2021, a coup d'茅tat began in Myanmar where the National League for Democracy was deposed by the military. Students studying at the country鈥檚 higher education institutes were left with a decision: continue their studies under the new regime, or walk out.

More than two years on from the coup, we hear from five students at Parami University sharing their experiences of studying during the coup. Offering a US style liberal arts education, Parami University is one of many institutions offering people another chance to begin, or in some cases, restart their learning. From dealing with electricity blackouts to writing essays about philosophy for teachers who are only ever a tile on a screen - and usually on the other side of the world - each student shares how they are using education as both resistance and hope for themselves and their country. Alongside them, we hear from Parami University staff and academics, who explain how education continues during conflict.
