This report tells the stories of some of the world\u2019s 7.4 million refugee children of school age under UNHCR\u2019s mandate.<\/strong> In addition, it looks at the educational aspirations of refugee youth eager to continue learning after secondary education, and highlights the need for strong partnerships in order to break down the barriers to education for millions of refugee children.<\/p>\n Education data on refugee enrolments and population numbers is drawn from UNHCR\u2019s population database, reporting tools and education surveys and refers to 2017.

And in the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2016, governments pledged to share responsibility for the world\u2019s refugees and to improve access to education for refugee children.<\/span><\/p>\n These were important commitments. But they will ring hollow to young refugees unless and until they experience real change and are given the same opportunities to go to school as others. It is time to honour those pledges and turn the tide, as detailed in our annual report on refugee education.<\/span><\/p>\n The same violence and persecution that uproots people from their homes, destroys stable family lives and forces many into poverty can also damage children\u2019s physical, psychological and developmental well-being.

By learning, playing and exploring, they find ways to cope, to progress and, if given the opportunity, to thrive. Today, education is fundamental to the way we at UNHCR think about every refugee emergency. Why? Because refugees now spend many years, even decades, in exile \u2013 a period that often extends over an entire childhood and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n Many children and young people are displaced several times before they cross a border and become refugees. For children whose lives have been disrupted in this manner, school is often the first place they start to regain normality \u2013 safety, friendship, order, peace. Regardless of their nationality or legal status, or that of their parents, children have the right to the academic and co-curricular activities that will enable them to prosper.<\/span><\/p>\n But two hours of basic education, as I witnessed in Kutupalong, is not enough. Children need a proper curriculum all the way through primary and secondary school, resulting in recognized qualifications that can be their springboard to university or higher vocational training.<\/span><\/p>\n For that to happen, refugee children need to be included in the national education systems of their host countries \u2013 systems that are regulated, monitored and updated. In Bangladesh, many Rohingya girls and boys are going to school for the first time. This is welcome progress, but the fact that they are not following any formal curriculum, and the teachers are often untrained, severely limits their potential.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.89″ gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.0.89″ src=”https:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/turnthetide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/63\/2018\/08\/intro-RF2160455.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” disabled_on=”|off|off” disabled=”off” \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”caption” background_layout=”light” module_class=”caption” _builder_version=”3.0.89″ text_font_size=”12px” module_alignment=”right”]<\/p>\n Rohingya refugee children collecting firewood on the edge of the forest in Kutupalong refugee settlement, Bangladesh.

Education is a way to help young people heal, but it is also the way to revive entire countries. Allowed to learn, grow and flourish, children will grow up to contribute both to the societies that host them and to their homelands when peace allows them to return. That is why education is one of the most important ways to solve the world\u2019s crises.<\/span><\/p>\n In following the fortunes of young refugees who have had the opportunity of education, we have seen some pursue their dreams of becoming surgeons, pilots, lawyers, statisticians, journalists, community leaders, molecular biologists \u2013 and the teachers of the next generations.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.89″ gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_image _builder_version=”3.0.89″ src=”https:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/turnthetide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/63\/2018\/08\/intro-RF2147351.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” disabled_on=”|off|off” disabled=”off” \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”caption” background_layout=”light” module_class=”caption” _builder_version=”3.0.89″ text_font_size=”12px” module_alignment=”right”]<\/p>\n Madina, 16, Afghan refugee living in Brussels, Belgium, dreams of setting up a school for girls in Afghanistan. \u201cI want all the girls in Afghanistan to know that they can do anything boys can do.\u2019\u2019 \u00a9 UNHCR\/Humans of Amsterdam\/Fetching_Tigerss.

Less than a quarter of the world\u2019s refugees make it to secondary school, and just one per cent progress to higher education. Developing regions host 92 per cent of the world\u2019s school-age refugees, where schools are often woefully under-resourced. These governments need support to include refugee children in national education systems \u2013 as some of them are indeed striving to do \u2013 and to expand the infrastructure that is needed to bring this about.<\/span><\/p>\n We cannot build a future by shunting refugee children into a parallel system of schooling that relies on outdated materials, makeshift classrooms or untrained teachers. We cannot improvise an education and imagine that this is good enough.<\/span><\/p>\n Humanitarian organizations, governments and the private sector must come together to increase funding for education and to design more innovative and sustainable solutions to support refugees\u2019 particular educational needs. We must build on the promise of the New York Declaration and start turning words into deeds. The global compact on refugees, to be adopted by the General Assembly later this year, sets out practical arrangements aimed at achieving just that – with the aim of enhancing refugees\u2019 self-reliance and easing the burden on host countries.<\/span><\/p>\n This worldwide effort to transform the lives of refugees must include a concerted drive to improve educational opportunities and resources. In doing so, we will restore their futures and enrich our world.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ background_color=”#ececec”
