The Rohingya National Education Board has successfully concluded the Rohingya Language Pedagogy Development training programme, an initiative aimed at strengthening the teaching capacity of Rohingya language educators and improving the quality of mother tongue education for Rohingya learners.
A total of 376 Rohingya teachers, both male and female, took part in the training. The programme was facilitated by 20 experienced trainers and conducted across 11 training centres, including Bhasan Char, allowing educators from different Rohingya communities to participate.
The training focused on several key areas designed to improve classroom teaching and learning outcomes. Participants received practical guidance on Rohingya language teaching methods, classroom management, structured lesson planning, and student engagement techniques.
Special emphasis was also placed on Rohingya script and literacy development, which organizers described as an important component in preserving and strengthening the Rohingya language.
Through interactive sessions, workshops, and practical exercises, participating teachers developed their pedagogical skills and gained tools to deliver more structured and learner centred Rohingya language education. Organizers said the programme is expected to support the preservation of Rohingya linguistic and cultural identity while improving learning opportunities for Rohingya children.
The training officially concluded with a certificate awarding ceremony held on 10 March at the TIKA Office in Camp 16. The event was organized by the Rohingya National Education Board and attended by community leaders and education stakeholders.
Minazur Rahman, Additional Secretary and Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner, attended the ceremony as the chief guest.
Representatives from several Rohingya community organizations were also present, including members of the United Council for Rohingya, along with other community figures and education representatives.
During the ceremony, certificates were formally distributed to the participating teachers in recognition of their successful completion of the training and their commitment to strengthening Rohingya language education.
Speakers at the event highlighted the importance of investing in teacher development and mother tongue education, noting that strengthening the Rohingya language is essential for preserving cultural identity and ensuring meaningful learning opportunities for Rohingya children.
The Rohingya National Education Board reaffirmed its commitment to continuing programmes focused on teacher capacity building, language development, and improving access to quality education for the Rohingya community.
