Additional Context: Human Rights Watch, or HRW, mentions that only 20% of the necessary education response in Bangladesh's refugee camps was covered as of late 2025, with the U.S. having almost halved their contributions to the Rohingya refugee crisis, from $300 million in 2024 to $156 million in 2025. Refugee children in Bangladesh are not allowed to enroll in formal education or learn Bangla — with the closure of NGO-supported learning centers, the only option is to attend community-run schools that do not offer diplomas and whose fees are prohibitive for many families.

Devex Researcher Note: According to reports on the closure of learning centers bySave the Children and subsequentupdates by UNICEF, about 150,000 children were left without educational opportunities following the funding cuts, including in large part U.S. aid cuts. Humanity & Inclusion was an organizationtailoring assistance in Cox's Baxar, the country's largest refugee camp, to children with disabilities. Activities included training teachers to include children with disabilities in schools, organizing rehabilitation sessions which enable children to go to school, and community awareness actvities. As U.S. international aid was re-scoped, so was the award, which came tofocus exclusively on activities deemed 'life-saving', which did not include education.
