Education is the foundation of SURD’s mission to empower the Rohingya community. It equips individuals with knowledge and skills, enabling them to become leaders and advocates for social justice. Education drives awareness of critical issues like human rights, gender equality, and public health, fostering a culture of self-reliance and resilience. Through accessible and inclusive educational programs, SURD ensures that marginalized groups, particularly women and youth, have opportunities to grow and contribute to their communities. Education lays the groundwork for advocacy, research, and governance, forming the basis for transformative change and sustainable development in the Rohingya community.

Alignment with SDGs and Refugee Rights:
Education aligns with SDG 4 (Quality Education) and is central to ensuring refugee rights under international frameworks like the 1951 Refugee Convention. By promoting inclusive and equitable education, SURD empowers refugees to access learning opportunities despite their displacement. Education helps overcome barriers like gender inequality (SDG 5) and economic disparity (SDG 1). For the Rohingya community, education serves as a pathway to empowerment, enabling them to assert their rights, build skills, and participate in decision-making processes within and beyond refugee camps.
