[Report] How Can Temporary Learning Spaces Provide Safe and Continuous Education for Rohingya Refugee Children in Bangladesh

More than one million Rohingya refugees have been living in camps in Bangladesh since 2017, with children making up more than half of the population. Yet access to safe and continuous education remains difficult due to legal restrictions, chronic underfunding, unsafe learning environments, natural disasters, and security concerns.

This report explores Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) as a practical short-term solution to these challenges. Using the Tankyu (inquiry) method and the RESET framework—Rules, Environment, Society, Economy, and Technology, it examines both the educational challenges and the conditions that could support or disrupt a TLS model.

The report proposes flexible, community-based learning spaces using modular classrooms, offline learning tools, and solar-powered technologies. It also highlights the importance of collaboration among Rohingya educators, Bangladeshi teachers, NGOs, international organisations, and other partners.

Finally, the report identifies key factors to monitor in the future, including changes in Bangladesh’s policies, climate-related disasters, humanitarian funding, collaborative funding initiatives, and the development of practical learning technologies.
