The INSPIRE Guide is intended as a resource for practitioners working on the inclusion of refugee children in national education systems. The Guide has three sections. Section I, the Guidance Note, is designed as a primer to provide clear, concise, and practical information on policy and process issues related to refugee inclusion in national education systems. Section II, the Intervention Repository, curates short notes that provide information relevant to the design and implementation of interventions that support refugee inclusion. And Section III, the Evidence Note, synthesizes empirical evidence on refugees and education to inform policy decisions and interventions. 

This briefing note is based on a data-gathering exercise led by the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action to understand the impact of humanitarian funding cuts on children and their protection. A global survey was completed by 250 child protection practitioners working in humanitarian settings across 55 countries.

The Secondary Education Working Group (SEWG), UNHCR, and Plan International co-hosted a virtual launch of the new policy publication, On the Precipice of Progress: National policy openings that increase forcibly displaced adolescent and youth enrollment and retention in secondary education. Drawing on case studies from Colombia, Iraq (KRI), Nigeria, and Rwanda, the publication highlights how national policy shifts—when paired with implementation support and accountability—can meaningfully improve access, retention, and inclusion in secondary education systems for forcibly displaced adolescents and youth.
