Abstract
This opinion piece discusses how to continue providing educational opportunities in the current challenging context in Myanmar. On 1 February 2021, the military of Myanmar organised a coup arguing an electoral fraud in the election held in November 2020 (Kipgen, 2021; Kudo, 2021; Osada, 2021). This opinion piece will argue that international communities must support online educational opportunities for and by civilians. After this introduction, the contexts will be briefly explained. Then, two possible scenarios are discussed in the following sections. The first scenario is the return to schools under the junta; the second is parallel schooling. Finally, concluding remarks will be drawn.
