Warning on the Fate of Rohingya Children- Basic Education Gap is one of the Vital Factors.

Children need to be educated with the knowledge of science, sanitation, safety, health, math, English, computing and other vital subjects in comparison to learning arabics mentioned by the president of Mercy Refugees House. This is high time we changed their mind and skill to be productive both to their community and country. If they are well trained and educated, they will work like candles which will enlighten more candles.

Rohingya refugee children who lack proper education in camps in Bangladesh could become a “lost generation”.

The lives and futures of more than 380,000 children in refugee camps in Bangladesh are in peril, while hundreds of thousands of Rohingya children still in Myanmar are cut off from aid, said a report by the UN children’s agency (Unicef).
Bangladesh prohibits refugees from receiving formal education, because the government is concerned the predominantly Muslim Rohingya population might become a “permanent fixture”, Unicef spokesman said.
One in two Rohingya children who fled to Bangladesh without their parents were orphaned by violence, while more than 6,000 children living in Cox’s Bazar are alone or have to fend for themselves, a study by charity Save the Children found this week.Aid agencies have managed to provide basic services, but the crisis is far from over.

At the outset of the refugee crisis, aid agencies set up informal learning centres for children aged three to 14, but older teenagers feel alienated and hopeless, Lawson-Tancred said.

“Unquestionably, there is a danger that we might be facing a lost generation,” he said from Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. “Sooner or later, you’re going to have large groups of disaffected youth on your hands.”
