Including Refugee Learners in National Education Systems

This report discusses how the inclusion of refugees in national education systems is understood, and how it can be achieved.

Report aims and objectives

• This aim of this report is to answer the following key research questions:
• What evidence is there of effective policies and practices for the inclusion of refugees in national education systems?
• What factors have underpinned these effective policies and practices?
• What factors have challenged the inclusion of refugees in national education systems? 
• What evidence is there of efforts to address intersecting inequalities to boost the inclusion of particularly marginalized groups of refugee learners?

The report seeks to synthesize existing evidence of good practices to promote the inclusion of refugee learners in the various areas of national education systems and to share examples of good practice. 

The report gathers evidence to inform a simple continuum of approaches to the inclusion of refugee learners in national education systems.

The report presents two in-depth case studies from Ecuador and Rwanda, which are relatively under-researched refugee-hosting countries.
