All educational programs have been closed indefinitely in the Rohingya refugee camps of Ukhia and Teknaf in Cox’s Bazar. More than 230,000 children have been out of school due to the closure of these programs funded by UNICEF and Save the Children. The sudden dismissal of 1,179 local teachers has created anger and dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n
Teachers, despite talking about a funding crisis, are complaining that there is a ‘conspiracy’ behind it. And the Refugee, Relief and Repatriation Commission says that they want a solution to the problem on the basis of fairness.<\/p>\n
Camp-based education centers have already been locked. UNICEF had warned in advance that the education programs in the Rohingya camps are in serious financial crisis.<\/p>\n
Mohammad Riaz, a resident of Camp-3, said, ‘Children can be kidnapped if they leave their homes. Accidents can also happen. If schools are open, parents are more relaxed.\u2019<\/p>\n
Another resident Faridul Alam said, \u2018If schools are closed, children will roam the streets. This will increase the anxiety of parents. If schools are open, the risk of accidents will also decrease.\u2019<\/p>\n
Rohingya teacher Askab said, \u2018Without education, people become blind. If schools are closed, Rohingya children can become thieves or pickpockets.\u2019<\/p>\n
Another teacher Mohammad Jobair said, \u2018Geography, science, Burmese, and English are taught in the learning centers according to the Myanmar curriculum. In schools, children get the opportunity to learn about the history and reality of their country. Now that educational activities are closed, their future is in darkness.\u2019<\/p>\n

Currently, there are about 400,000 children suitable for education in the refugee camps. Of the about 8,000 teachers assigned to teach these children, only 3,000 were locals. However, 1,179 local teachers have been laid off on the pretext of financial crisis. The fact that Rohingya teachers remain in office has created inequality and dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n
Saidul Islam Shamim, a representative of the laid-off teachers, said, “The pressure on us has increased since the movement demanding a salary increase in September 2024. Then, suddenly, half an hour ago, we were informed that we no longer have jobs. This is nothing but a conspiracy.”<\/p>\n
Not only the Rohingya, but also the locals are angry. Those concerned fear that social unrest may arise in the area if a quick solution is not found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
