Military expands University Training Corps with new intake

Regime media reported on Tuesday that eight University Training Corps (UTC) units have started a new round of military training on Feb. 10 for an undisclosed number of university students and staff from the 2024-2025 academic year. 

“Skipping training without a valid reason is not allowed. Teachers risk being transferred to remote areas, while students may be placed under township authorities for military conscription,” a teacher in the Mon State capital Mawlamyine told DVB on the condition of anonymity.
