"The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child affirms the right to education. Yet for millions of children who are refugees, that promise remains out of reach. Today, 5.7 million of them are out of school, and the barriers grow as children get older, limiting their opportunities for stable, self-determined lives."
"From teachers working outside traditional classrooms to local educators drawing on community history and customs, they'll examine what it takes to support children in building a foundation for their future."
"Featuring Daria Mierhut, Communications Lead, Refugee Education Council Alex Odongo, Head of Programs, War Child Canada, Uganda Arnold Okello, Area Manager, Oxfam in Uganda Kinfe Wubetu, Program Manager, Child Protection and Education, Save the Children International Ethiopia"
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child affirms education as a right, but millions of refugee children remain out of school. A total of 5.7 million children are not receiving education, and barriers increase as children grow older. Limited access reduces opportunities for stable, self-determined lives. Education delivery requires more than traditional schooling models, including teachers working outside conventional classrooms. Local educators can support learning by drawing on community history and customs. Practical approaches from organizations and program leaders focus on helping displaced children build a foundation for their future through child-centered support and education access.
