Around half a million Rohingya children who have been languishing and no access to education in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar.
Many of the Rohingya children says, were on the verge of completing their schooling in a few months’ time when they were forced to flee their homes by the actions of the Myanmar military, many of which amount to crimes against humanity. Since then, they have lost another two academic years. The longer they are forced to stay in the camps, the prospect of them ever realizing the opportunities every child deserves becomes more distant.
They are at risk of becoming a lost generation !

Whether we talk about the refugees returning to Myanmar when it is safe to do so, resettling in a third country, or another way to solve the crisis, without education, a generation of Rohingya children will lose the opportunity to claim their rights, improve their lives or contribute to the economy they live in. For the past four years, their lives have been put on hold; their futures paralyzed by a state of uncertainty.
