Children begin new school year in Rohingya refugee camps, UNICEF
The UNICEF has said in a statement that classrooms in the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh are filling up today with children, excited on the first day of school, confirming a record 300,000 children are enrolled for the 2023/24 school year.
The UN education agency added that, “the new academic year marks the first time that Rohingya refugee children of all ages will be studying under the Myanmar Curriculum. Since its launch in 2021, this formal curriculum has gradually been expanded with grades 3-5 and grade 10 opening today for the first time in the Cox’s Bazar refugee camps.”
It should be mentioned that more than one million Rohingya refugees, who fled persecution and oppression in Myanmar, are currently living in camps in Bangladesh, amid worsening humanitarian conditions.
