UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency’s Post

Another critical issue that needs to be discussed is the "school-age itself" especially for refugees whose education systems in their home countries are often broken and fail to provide early education. Many refugees struggle to pursue higher education at an older age, and when displacement disrupts their lives again, their educational aspirations are put at risk. By the time they can focus on education again, many are beyond the typical school age, which becomes a significant barrier to accessing educational opportunities like scholarships. We need education to be age-inclusive, recognizing that anyone with the zeal to pursue learning should have the opportunity to do so, regardless of their age.

Refugees possess a deep understanding of their own needs and circumstances; thus, supporting refugee leaders and fostering partnerships with them is a more effective approach than merely providing direct aid. #refugees #communityaction #communitydevelopment #refugeeleadership

Every child, regardless of where they come from, deserves safety, care, and the chance to build a better future. Refugee children, who have endured unimaginable hardships , remind us of our shared humanity and the need for compassion no matter what our believes are, religions and backgrounds. These children are not just statistics that been used in the academic papers they are individuals as well with dreams, talents, and potential. They are the future scientists, artists, leaders, and innovators of our world. Refugee children have faced loss, fear, and uncertainty future that no child should ever experience. They are innocent lives caught in crises beyond their control, and they need our compassion and support. We cannot forget that these children are just like ours with dreams, hopes, and the potential to change the world. It’s our duty as humans to care, protect, and give them the chance to heal and grow. Let's do our best help them as well as every child in need in UK or global. Yousef.

More than half of all school-age refugee children are out of school. In most protracted situations of displacement, inclusion in the host-countries' education systems is the only sustainable solution to educate the world's refugees.

🌍 Restoring Rights: Identity and Education 🌍 Refugees often lose fundamental rights, starting with their identity, which impacts their access to education—a crucial right for personal growth and opportunity. 📚 Education should be accessible to all, yet many refugees are denied this chance, affecting their future prospects. What can we do? Advocate for Change: Support policies that restore refugee rights. Raise Awareness: Highlight the challenges faced by refugees. Get Involved: Contribute to efforts providing identity documentation and educational access. Together, we can help restore these rights and ensure access to education for all. #RefugeeRights #EducationForAll #SocialJustice #IdentityRights
