Why do we study refugee education of Burmese refugee camp in Thailand?
- Education As A Basic Human Right
“the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) affirmed the right of all children, regardless of status, to free and compulsory primary education, to available and accessible secondary education, and to higher education on the basis of capacity (United Nations, 1989, Article 28). ”
“The right to education for refugees is articulated in Article 22 of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, resolution 64/290 (July 2010) of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations General Assembly on the right to education in emergencies (United Nations, 2010a), and in the draft resolution to the Hu- man Rights Council on the right to education for refugees, migrants and asylum seekers (June 2011) (United Nations, 2010b).”
Education is linked to both individual and social level of development. At individual level, the high level of education people have received is closely related to poverty reduction and health improvement. While at social level, education affects the overall quality of the population and political and economic growth of the whole society (Center for Global Development, 2002)See Specific Problems in Burma
