A small boy sleeps under a desk next to his brother who is a student at a small government run school December 14, 2011 in Waw township, Myanmar. The education system is based on the United Kingdom's system, after nearly a century of British and Christian presences in Burma. All schools are government-operated, but recently, there has been an increase in privately funded schools. The literacy rate of Burma is fairly high although the annual budget allocated to education by the government is low. (Photo by Paula Bronstein/Getty Images)
