DHAKA, 02 May 2022, (TON): Unicef says “breakthrough for Rohingya refugee children living in the Cox's Bazar refugee camps in Bangladesh sees the first 10,000 children enrolled to receive education based on the national curriculum of their home country Myanmar.”
The UN agency said “this milestone will be reached this month.”
The Myanmar Curriculum Pilot, launched by Unicef and partners in November 2021, is a critical step forward toward ensuring the fundamental right to education for Rohingya refugee children.
It will help prepare the children for their return to Myanmar.
Sheldon Yett, Unicef representative to Bangladesh said "there is a tremendous demand for education among Rohingya refugee children, and Unicef and partners are on the ground in the camps, responding to that demand.”
There are over 400,000 school-aged Rohingya children in the Bangladesh refugee camps.
