Over the last five years, however, approximately 410,000 Rohingya children have been caught up in another education crisis: Late provision of education, informal and non-certified education, 18-month-long closure of learning centers during the COVID-19 pandemic, shutdown of private centers, etc. These five years have caused a significant learning loss in the Rohingya community. Recently, the Education sector started to scale up the Myanmar curriculum in the camps following the Myanmar Curriculum Pilot last November. Despite the positive change, further efforts are needed to improve the quality of education for Rohingya children. What is Next for Rohingya Education? The Rohingya Human Rights Center is calling on the international community, the government of Bangladesh, and the National Unity Government (NUG) of Myanmar to do more to ensure quality education for Rohingya children.   What can be expected after Uncertified Education? Although the Myanmar curriculum eventually became operational, the certification issue still remains questionable. Parents and teachers are concerned that Rohingya students may have to start from Grade 1 or give up educational opportunities in other countries without certification. The government of Bangladesh and the NUG of Myanmar should ensure that Rohingya children receive a formal certificate upon completion of their education through bilateral Agreement.   Quality Education Without qualified teachers, there is no quality education. Camp education has faced a shortage of qualified teachers, which greatly affects the quality of the classes. The government of Bangladesh should guarantee that more qualified teachers are recruited by agreeing to pay them at least 20,000 Taka per month. Equal Education for Girls Female students, especially those aged 12 and above have significantly lower access to education. Separate learning spaces and female teachers are critical for girls to show up to the classes. The government of Bangladesh and the education sector should make sure of them. International Funds: Keep the pledge! The shortage of funding is a critical barrier to quality education for Rohingya children. Funding has not kept up with the demand required for quality education in the camps. This significant gap in funding has led to a dire learning environment. The international community should keep its pledge and increase its humanitarian aid and financial support to provide Rohingya children with quality education. Learn More 1. Our Report 2.
