Without school, a 'lost generation' of Rohingya refugee children face uncertain future

Research shows that the future of refugee children grows more imperiled the longer they remain out of school. Because Bangladeshi authorities have not granted the Rohingya official refugee status and consider them instead “forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals,” the roughly 500,000 Rohingya children in the country have no access to a formal education. Rohingya children are not permitted to attend Bangladeshi public schools.
