'Hungry for education'In some countries, governments allow refugees to study in local schools, allowing them to gain recognised qualifications, or permit institutions in the camps to teach the national curriculum. "It is advised to monitor strictly so that no Rohingya children can take education outside the camps or elsewhere in Bangladesh," he said. Asked about his order to expel Rohingya children from local schools, Kalam said they were getting an education from learning centres in the camps. "They are not allowed to enrol in Bangladeshi schools as they are not Bangladeshi citizens," he said. "We feel sad when we see the local students studying in a nice place, quietly," he said.
