However, in some regions and states, textbooks received at the time of enrollment are required to be returned when schools close, and those who cannot return the books will pay for the books at their original value.
Due to the current intense fighting in Myanmar, there are many townships where schools cannot open, and many students are unable to attend school because schools cannot open.
