The importance of investing in tertiary education for refugees in Jordan
The United Kingdom Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office in Jordan requested a rapid literature review encompassing the following research questions:
- What evidence exists on the importance of investing in education, and tertiary education in particular, and how it can contribute to overall poverty reduction, social cohesion, and economic stability for both the host country and the global economy?
- What are the costs of inaction?
- What lessons learned and best practices could Jordan and the international community at large draw from the role tertiary education plays in improving social and economic outcomes for refugee youth?
