ERICC Webinar Series: Refugee Inclusion in National Education Systems
Although refugee inclusion in host country education systems has emerged as a growing policy priority in an effort to improve education access and quality, education remains out of reach for half of refugee children: compared to the global average of 102%, the primary gross enrollment rate for refugee children in 2023 was only 65%. The data signals a clear need to understand the latest research on refugee inclusion, as well as the policy and practice takeaways emerging from the latest evidence.
INEE is hosted an event bringing together researchers from Education Research in Conflict and Protracted Crisis (ERICC), Center for Lebanese Studies, the University of Edinburgh and UNHCR to present their latest research and findings in this area.
Panelists included:
- Arianna Pacifico (ERICC)
- Maha Shuayb (Centre for Lebanese Studies)
- Daniel Shephard (University of Edinburgh)
- Event discussant: Cirenia Chavez Villegas (UNHCR)
Together, the panelists engaged in discussion about connections and learnings across contexts. These presentations, ranging from global evidence reviews to comparative longitudinal studies, aimed to create a more cohesive understanding of the latest research in refugee inclusion, with the aim to move the EiE sector forward through specific takeaways for policy and practice.
