Education for Rohingya Children
The UN and global humanitarian community have lauded Bangladesh’s decision to expand the access to formal education for Rohingya children living in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar.
The decision was taken on Monday at the meeting of the National Task Force on Rohignya crisis, chaired by Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen at the foreign ministry.
In line with the decision, the education sector for the humanitarian response in Cox’s Bazar now plans to pilot the introduction of the Myanmar curriculum in the Rohingya refugee camps starting in April. Initially, it targets 10,000 Rohingya students from sixth to ninth grade.
