COX'S BAZAR, May 10, 2026 (BSS) - State Minister for Primary and Mass Education Bobby Hajjaj today said the government is committed to ensuring a safe, humane and education-friendly environment for Rohingya children living in camps in Cox's Bazar.
He said coordinated efforts from the international community, development partners and all stakeholders are essential to ensure that no child is deprived of education.
The state minister made the remarks while visiting several learning centres at Rohingya camps in Ukhiya upazila of the district.
During the visit, he interacted with students and listened to their aspirations, future plans and experiences related to education.
"Every child has the right to dream. Ensuring access to education for children amid a humanitarian crisis is extremely important," he said.
"Education is not only a means of acquiring knowledge, but also the most effective way to protect a generation from violence, frustration and an uncertain future," he added.
The learning centres are operating under the Myanmar curriculum and providing education up to grade 12 in six subjects - Myanmar language, English, Mathematics, Geography, History and Science.
During the tour, the state minister visited three learning centres run by UNICEF and BRAC.
Teachers at the centres highlighted several challenges in conducting educational activities, including infrastructural limitations, shortages of teaching materials and training-related constraints.
The state minister also exchanged views with representatives of the Rohingya community.
Among others, UNICEF Chief of Education Deepa Sarker, Education Manager Louise Lick, officials from the Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner's Office and representatives of BRAC were present.
