“The Myanmar military burnt my housedown in the middle of the night. My twoyear old brother was killed in the fire. Wehad to flee immediately.
We swam across the river and entered aforest. We waited there for days, hungryand tired. I could hear children screamingfrom the village nearby.
My family and I walked for 20 days to getfrom Myanmar to Bangladesh. We heardthat other Rohingya families were livingthere.
We are now safe.
I like that I can study here, and play withother children. But most nights, I cannotsleep.
I dream about my little brother and myhome in Myanmar.”
Rojina Bibi’s classroom
“I had to escape to save my life, just likemy students. At least I am an adult, whilethey are only small children.
One day, when our motherland is peacefulagain, I want all my students to be able toread, write and think in their motherlanguage. I want them to believe they can be all theywant to be, despite what they havewitnessed.
I may not have a home anymore, but I canuse my education to make a difference.
I want my students to know they can too.”
Rojina Bibi is one of more than 700Rohingya teachers who are helping teachmore than 58,000 children in their ownlanguage.
Azizullah’s taskforce
“I was working for an internationalorganisation in Myanmar. Suddenly,everything changed. I fled to Bangladeshand somehow got to connect with a BRACstaff working in the camps. I wasdetermined to make a contribution. Ijoined the taskforce dedicated todeveloping and improving the curriculumfor thousands of children who have losttheir homes, just like me. I want to work tomake sure that they have the chance tolearn”
The work to develop teaching andlearning materials began in October 2017,just months after the influx began. Thematerials were developed in accordancewith the Learning CompetencyFramework Approach (LCFA) led by theeducation sector in Cox’s Bazar.Azizullah, a young Rohingya man, hasbeen a crucial member in our curriculumtaskforce.
