But government of Bangladesh did not grant them Refugee status that’s why they are deprived of refugee rights as well as middle-level and high-level educational facilities. The local NGO/Agency ensured CFS-Child Friendly Space for the children of 3-4 years to play since 2017. And some different Bangladeshi local NGO as well as some INGO started providing educational facilities from level 01-level 04 for above 5 years to under 13 years old children since 2018 but there is no noticeable improvement. Besides, UNICEF started collecting data of Rohingya children and expert Rohingya teacher to launch Myanmar Curriculum Project in all 34 camps. According to UNICEF, English will be taught by local teachers and Geography, Science and other subjects will be taught by Rohingya teacher that will be appointed for the MCP Project. Also, girls will be taught separately by the female teachers and monitors in MCP Project. But MCP project will not be fully taught in Myanmar Curriculum as like as Myanmar schools as the Myanmar government denies UNICEF. Rohingya did not come to Bangladesh to stay for long time. So, we must go back to our homeland Arakan, Myanmar that’s why our children should have full educational facilities in Myanmar Curriculum.
