Challenges in Education for Refugees

Abstract

The issue of this paper is centered on legal, economic, cultural, and psychological impediments as well as infrastructural factors that surround education for refugees. This considers the part played by UNHCR and some Non-Governmental Organizations in dealing with such problems as education and highlights the different ways and measures within the programs and policies being implemented by the bodies. This paper also presents the trends, strategies, education technology and e-learning, community education, and policy measures to improve education for refugee students. Descriptive studies of cases from various countries demonstrate the range of contexts within which refugee education is taking place and the variety of responses it stimulates. Finally, the author calls for a collective approach and continued support to ensure that every refugee child undergoes proper education as this benefits him or her in the future. Therefore, the paper appeals to the development of educational policies, programs, and practices aimed at meeting the needs of refugees worldwide.
