[00:12.68]The hundreds of thousands of Muslim Rohingya children currently only receive basic lessons. [00:21.36]The children fled with their families from neighboring Myanmar to refugee camps in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. [00:30.92]The United Nations Children's Fund, or UNICEF, runs many of the more than 3,000 small learning centers in the camps. [00:41.96]The centers offer basic lessons in subjects like English, Burmese, life skills, drawing and math. [00:51.28]The lessons do not follow an official curriculum, however. [00:56.60]About 400,000 children currently live in the camps. [01:01.88]Some arrived as recently as 2017 or later. [01:07.80]Others were born in the camps. [01:10.28]The Bangladesh government has prevented learning centers in the camps [01:15.32]from teaching children using Bangladesh's education curriculum. [01:21.64]The new program is set to begin in April. [01:25.12]The U.N. said the program will give the children a formal education [01:31.04]using Myanmar's plan of study, from grade 6 to 9. [01:37.40]The U.N. says that 10,000 Rohingya children will take part in an experimental period of the program. [01:46.72]Mahbub Alam Talukder is an official with Bangladesh's refugee commission. [01:53.24]He said the government agreed with the U.N.'s idea of giving the Rohingya children a Myanmar education. [02:02.76]"They will be taught in Myanmar's language, they will follow Myanmar's curriculum, there is no chance to study [02:10.84]in formal Bangladeshi schools or to read books in the Bengali language," he said. [02:18.52]He added that there is no plan for the refugees to stay in Bangladesh, [02:23.44]"so through this approach they will be able to adapt to Myanmar's society when they go back." [02:31.04]The U.N. and rights groups have welcomed the decision. [02:35.96]Human Rights Watch released a report two months ago that criticized the Bangladesh government [02:42.96]for not letting international organizations help provide a better education to Rohingya refugee children. [02:52.96]More than 1 million Rohingya Muslims have fled violence in Myanmar, which has a largely Buddhist population. [03:02.88]Over 730,000 Rohingya left Myanmar after a violent military-led campaign against them in 2017. [03:14.32]U.N. investigators have said the military campaign was carried out for "genocidal" reasons. [03:22.56]Earlier this month, the International Court of Justice asked the government of Myanmar [03:29.12]to take emergency measures to stop genocide against the Rohingya.
