Conscript-Hungry Myanmar Junta Turns Sights on Students

The military regime is causing alarm among parents by asking universities and private high schools for lists of their students.

Township administrations in Yangon, Mandalay, Naypyitaw, and elsewhere demanded in mid-December that private schools provide lists of all students over 15, answering detailed questions such as whether students wear glasses, are on long-term medication, or have physical disabilities.
