Exploring the Potential of Technology to Deliver Education and Skills to Syrian Refugee Youth
This working paper highlights emerging thinking and initiatives that test the potential of technology to play a role in enabling access to affordable, relevant, and quality education, and to support overcoming barriers to the development of relevant skills required by a 21st century workforce. The purpose of this paper is two-fold, 1) to contribute to the discussion on how to better use technology to close the signifcant gaps for a generation of displaced youth, in particular Syrian refugees living in Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon, and 2) to amplify the call for all stakeholders, especially the technology sector and international donors, to help refugee youth in the Middle East secure a better future.
