EDUCATION FOR REFUGEE CHILDREN?
Education is the passport to the future. Everyone standing on this God's green earth should have the right to quality education as education is truly the only way for us to grow as individuals. Good education also allows us to shape a future for ourselves that we desire regardless of our socioeconomic background. The need for quality education for refugee children is even further accentuated tenfold as the education journey of a refugee child is disrupted, whether it’s from fleeing their home country or faced with trauma, their education levels would be severely affected. Even if a refugee child does end up in Malaysia without those trials and tribulations, these refugee children are still denied by the national education system, forcing them to pursue other means to obtain this education.
WHY FUGEE SCHOOL?
This is where FUGEE school comes in. FUGEE School is a non-profit education centre
for refugee children living in Malaysia that is supported by the United Nations High Commissioner For Refugees(UNHCR). FUGEE School was founded in 2009 and is currently based in KL with students aged from 4 to 20 years old. FUGEE school ensures that its students are given the necessary education to survive in modern society. As we have illustrated earlier, refugee children face immense challenges, fleeing their home countries and dealing with the traumas of displacement. Education isn't a luxury for them—it's a lifeline. FUGEE School is tackling this head-on, bridging learning gaps and nurturing self-reliance to build an inclusive society.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is all about championing equality and access to quality education.
As students ourselves, we hold a fervent belief that education is a universal right, transcending socio-economic backgrounds which connotes the fact that we believe that quality education should be made available to all. By supporting FUGEE School, we will ensure that our mission doesn't simply remain a notional idea and has gears that are put into motion.
