Education is a basic human right, enshrined in both the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child. And during times of displacement, education plays an additional, crucial role in fostering social cohesion, addressing psychosocial needs, and providing a safe and stable environment for those who need it most.
UNHCR seeks to integrate refugee learners within national systems wherever possible and appropriate.
Yet globally... far too many refugees are excluded from an education, compromising the future of entire generations.
