Burmese Children Seek Education over the Border

More and more Burmese children are leaving their families and illegally
crossing the border into Thailand in the hope of gaining an education.
The repressive Burmese military regime spends one of the lowest amounts
of money on health care and education in the world. Even basic
education is very expensive. So children as young as five are making
the journey into Thailand in the hope of getting a free education at
schools run by exiled Burmese. Rebecca Henschke visits one such school
in the border town of Mae Sot, where nearly 3,000 students are living
and studying.
