Back to Learning
Yasmina, 10, (orange t-shirt and purple skirt) who is challenged by a speech impediment and learning disabilities, studies at the UNCEF/Plan Learning Center in Kutupalong where she recently began attending class full time. Photograph taken in Kutupalong camp on 9 January 2019.
“Teacher Kamal was looking for me every day,” says Yasmina, referring to Plan teacher Kamal Hossein, who encouraged Yasmina’s mother to make sure that Yasmina attended learning center more frequently.
“I have a lot of friends. They help me study,” she continues.
At the request of teacher Kamal, Yasmina's mother agreed to allow Yasmina to take part in the Back to Learning campaign. She did the assessment in December. When Yasmina took the assessment, she needed extra time, but she completed it.
Now Yasmina feels very happy in the learning centre. She comes earlier than everyone else because she is so eager for the class to start.
Karen’s notes:
Yasmina has 4 siblings. Her father was killed in Myanmar. Her mother takes care of them all. She has eldest son 17, daughter 14, Yasmin 10, son 12 (Nurul Amin) - brother in the same class.
Yasmina has been coming to the learning centre since 25 August 2018. However, she was not attending regularly, she was coming on average 2 days a week. Now she is attending 6 days each week.
When Yasmina is learning in a group situation, she often doesn’t understand but when the teacher gives her individual attention, then she can follow the instructions. There are 3 students with disabilities in the learning centre and the teacher tried to give them all individual attention.
Yasmina practices with her handwriting but her hands shake a lot.
The teacher sees a little improvement in her comprehension. She is more social, she is learning how to greet people and her words are becoming a little clearer when she speaks.
She has two friends in the classroom – Noor Amin (her brother) and Koshmin. She likes rhyming classes.
Abia Hatan is her mother’s name. Her mother loves Yasmina. Her mother is very happy that Yasmina now has books and materials. She is encouraged. When Yasmina comes home, she studies. She reads her books.
