Mega Trends and Challenges in Refugee Education
A simple answer to the question raised above would be to say that education is a human right. Although the answer is correct it lacks specificity and is more superficial. Seemingly it is more of an emergency need to facilitate to continue the learning they had received in their country of origin. It is a way to enhance their personalities and open opportunities to bring out the best in them for the service of their country. For their self esteem, refugees need to show to the rest of the world that they are not completely hopeless. They may have lost many things in life, but knowledge and skills once acquired can never be taken away. Education therefore is a priceless commodity for refugees to cling on to with hope.
