Turn the Tide: Refugee Education in Crisis
All information and materials accessed through this page are strictly embargoed until 07:00 GMT on 29 August 2018
Four million refugee children do not attend school, a new report from UNHCR has found. This is an increase of half a million of out-of-school refugee children in just one year.
“Without education, the future of these children and their communities will be irrevocably damaged.”
UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi
