Rohingya refugee children robbed of right to education

Eight years after nearly 1 million Rohingya fled Myanmar to escape mass killings, rape and arson, the world seems to be abandoning them to an even quieter catastrophe: the collapse of their children’s education. In Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar camps, international aid cuts have forced the closure of more than 4,500 learning centers. More than 227,000 Rohingya children are now locked out of classrooms, with some 1,200 teachers displaced. The effects have been immediate and devastating. Child marriage, child labor and human trafficking are all on the rise.
