A youth at Bhashan Char who was recruited at an NGO as a teacher said, “we are providing basic education to the children. But all children are not facilitated with this. And the level of education is not that helpful for all. Though Rohingyas are happy having learning centers but urging authorities to provide education for all children.

Report: VOA News Reporter: Sabera Begum (Cox’s Bazar) Related item code: 9-P Duration: 5:30 minutes Topic: Along with the people of Bangladesh, Rohingyas are also interested in getting vaccinated against Covid-19. Translation Summary: For the second time since last Tuesday, the Covid-19 vaccination program has started all over Bangladesh again. However, vaccination of Rohingyas has not been implemented yet. Saydul Amin from the camp 5 said to VOA; Corona infection is on the rise in Rohingya refugee camps as well as across the country. That is why the people of Bangladesh as well as the Rohingyas need vaccinations. He added that since the camps are very densely populated, it is almost impossible for Rohingyas to follow the hygiene rules in the camps. Vaccination is very necessary in such situations. The Rohingyas under the vaccine will not have a lockdown; they will be able to work as before. However, the Rohingyas are seeking the help of all the major countries of the world to cover all the Rohingyas.
