The fear of persecution in Myanmar have led to thousands of Rohingya people fled the country and seek asylum in neighboring countries including Malaysia. The Rohingya have been seeking refugee status in Malaysia since the 1980s. Currently Malaysia hosts the largest number of Rohingya refugees among the ASEAN countries. However, as Malaysia is not the signatory party of the 1951 Refugee Convention, there are no specific regulations that protects the rights for the displaced Rohingya.

According to the Malaysian law, only the nationals of Malaysia are given the access to enter the public schools.

After intensive field work and meeting with different stakeholders, this paper forwarded that it has been a big challenge for NGOs to work with the Rohingya children education especially lack of infrastructure, funding, less skilled teaching staffs and limited access to public examination.
