All people have the fundamental right to life and health, and access to the development of their full potential. Yet refugee children often miss out on the simple pleasures of a normal childhood that families in the city take for granted. Among these is the basic right to education.
CTC is a non-profit initiative of the refugee community to provide access to education for families waiting for resettlement in a third country. Established in 2009, the learning centre began with initial funding by UNHCR with support and partial financial assistance of Hope Evangelical Free Church, Wangsa Maju.
OUR CLASSES
CTC is open to children of the Myanmar refugee community aged 3 to 17 years. Currently the learning centre provides basic education from Grade 1 through Grade 6. Subjects taught are English, Math, Science, Art and Computer Literacy. The medium of education is English. Day care is also provided to some younger children whose parents are out at work.
OUR FACILITIES
CTC operates out of a rented shoplot. It is partitioned for 6 classes with morning and afternoon sessions to cater for over a hundred children. The premises are fully air-conditioned and equipped with a small library and indoor games such as table-tennis. Field trips and sport activities are also included as and when it receives sponsorships.
OUR TEACHERS
All teachers are Myanmars who reside in the vicinity of the school. CTC requires it's teachers to undergo basic training as and when UNHCR schedules instructional programmes in partnership with Non-Governmental Organisations or local faith communities. The learning centre also welcomes volunteer teachers to help in any formal subjects or extra-curricular activities.
OUR CHILDREN

CTC is an example of refugees helping each other. Although it is a fee-based learning centre rising costs and expenses remain a constant challenge. We welcome donations to meet its overheads and occasional cost overrun. The learning centre is recognized by and operates in consultation with UNHCR. Hope Evangelical Free Church provides general oversight and service, including partial financial support. |
