My Story
Like all children, refugee children have the fundamental right to life, survival and development to the maximum extent possible. However, living in exile, refugee children are often denied normal childhoods.
In Malaysia, 70% of 25,499 refugees under the age of 18 have not received proper education because there is no legal framework to solve their situation. Most attend schools which are sponsored by non-governmental organizations and even then, there are simply not enough available resources to provide all the children with their most basic needs. To make matters worse, many refugee families were severely affected by the pandemic.
Refugee children in Malaysia are denied access to the formal education system, and thus obtain education via a limited number of community-based learning centres funded by Non-Governmental Organisations.
