The border clampdown in Mizoram is taking a toll on the education of Myanmar students seeking refuge in the state. Restrictions on cross-border movement have made it challenging for students to attend schools in Mizoram. For many families fleeing conflict in Myanmar, education in Mizoram offers a rare opportunity for stability and hope.
Local NGOs and educational institutions are calling on authorities to ease restrictions for students, emphasizing the importance of continuity in education during crises. The clampdown, while necessary for security, is sparking debates on balancing humanitarian considerations with regulatory measures.
