A new lease of life for kids of Rohingya refugees

For the 3,000-odd Rohingya refugees living in the city, there is some good news in the holy month of Ramadan. The Telangana Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA) decided to open a school for the children of Myanmar refugees.

The international non-profit organisation, ‘Save the Children’ recently requested SSA to open a school for the children and the government responded to the request positively. The school would be started on Refugee Day on June 20.

SSA identified around 90 Rohingya children to begin the school and the school would have only Urdu and English as the medium of instruction. (Courtesy of thehansindia.com)
