Celebrated International Literacy Day: (ILD) September 9, 2012

Eradicating illiteracy remains a dream for the Rohingya Refugee in Bangladesh

Ukhiya Cox's Bazar: The Village Education Resource Centre (VERC) celebrated the International Literacy Day today, which is observed through the events on the theme "Literacy and Peace" which is never come to true even in dream for Rohingya refugee in Bangladesh due to make believing plans and fund constrain of NGOs and restriction of Bangladesh government.

The UNHCR and donor countries' pledge of eradicating illiteracy from the Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh will not be kept in continuum due to a lack of poor planning and prevention of Bangladesh Governess. Most of the people are getting very amazing and expressed their concern saying that the percentage of education did not find out from Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh till 22 years, due to fund constraint and limp planning and negligence.
We passed 22 years as refugee in Bangladesh but still we didn't pass class five and we have no any high school inside the camp for Rohingya refugee due to restriction of Bangladesh government. And also we are in very regret that the hundreds of high school students were pushed out from outside school and even some are from examination hall this year, who were admitted to various high school outside the camp under Cox's Bazar district in Bangladesh said some refugee who are denied to be named for their safety.

The NGOs have held the education project as one of the sectors receiving the highest budgetary allocations to remove illiteracy and to bring significant results for the Rohingya refugee but they failed. Even, they could not launch Basic Literacy Project till now for what our children have to ruined their future life. The Rohingya refugee believes that the UNHCR and NGOs would be able to establish high school inside the camp and to eradicate illiteracy through the consultation and cooperation with government.

"Apart from providing basic education, we have also offered some skill-based training so that the Rohingya refugees' participants can do something for their livelihood," but it is also has been restricted by the Bangladesh government, Not only that we also deprived of getting adequate basic fundamental rights and needing like medication, food and non-food items, security and more in Bangladesh like Burma they said.
