 Rohingya fight for an education 
 

The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority group who fled to Malaysia from Myanmar, where Amnesty International says they had endured human rights violations since the 1970s.

Rohingya children cannot enrol in Malaysian schools because the government does not recognise their refugee status.

The UNHCR has set up several small community schools which try to give these children an education.
