Mon village students

These are the students attending the one room school in the Mon village. You can see they are of various ages and the there is only one teacher for the group.

This is not the only education they will receive. This is a preschool situation. Once the children are older they will travel into town where they will attend classes. The young man to the back is unable to attend school in town because his family does not have enough money to pay for transportation, books, supplies, and uniforms.
