Scholarships to Rohingya refugees
By J.Lo
"With their help, another batch of Rohingya youth will soon be able to receive protection and education services in the country," United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said four educational institutions in the Philippines will grant scholarships to Rohingya refugees under program that provides safe and regulated avenue of stay in the country through education..
San Beda University in Manila, St. Louis University in Baguio City, Tarlac State University, and the University of St. La Salle in Bacolod committed to joining Complementary Pathways (CPath) program, seeks to strengthen skills and self-reliance capacities of Rohingya refugees and give them tools to build better futures for themselves and their communities.
Scholars under CPath program are recognized as refugees by Philippine government, and provided legal status and protection services for duration of their enrollment.
Maria Ermina Valdeavilla-Gallardo, UNHCR Philippines head, expressed gratitude to four universities "for standing in solidarity with Rohingya refugees."
In September 2022, Philippines welcomed first batch of CPath scholars six Rohingya refugees who have since adjusted well in their new communities and schools.
UNHCR and Department of Justice signed agreement last year with Columban College, Inc. to allow young Rohingya to enroll at educational institution.
Philippines first pledged to create complementary solutions for refugees during Global Refugee Forum in 2019. CPath program was institutionalized three years later.
Most Rohingya fled military-led crackdown in Buddhist-majority Myanmar in 2017. Rohingya are widely viewed in Myanmar as interlopers from neighboring Bangladesh, despite roots in the country dating back centuries, and are rendered stateless after Myanmar ceased recognizing their citizenship in 2015.
