Struggle of Rohingya refugee children to get their basic right to education
There are more than 25 million refugees in the world - over half of them under the age of 18. There are also 10 million stateless people who are denied a nationality and basic rights such as education, healthcare and freedom of movement. Only 61% of refugee children are enrolled in primary education compared to 91% of all the world's children. Just 23% of refugee children are enrolled in secondary school, against 84% globally. Many of the schools refugee children do attend are makeshift ones in camps. Here, the Reuters news agency looks at the specific plight of Rohingya refugee children whose families fled from ethnic violence in Myanmar into neighbouring Bangladesh. Over a million Rohingya refugees have left in successive waves of displacement since the early 1990s - including over 720,000 since August 2017.Â
