Migration, Displacement and Education: Building Bridges, not Walls
Migrants, refugees and internally displaced people are among the most vulnerable people in the world, but laws and policies are failing them. Especially socially vulnerable children suffer from by negation of their rights and disregard of their needs. This report by
UNESCO underpins two key international pacts, The
Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, and the
Global Compact on Refugees, in highlighting the need to address education for migrants and the displaced. It shows how investment in the education of talented and driven migrants and refugees boosts development and economic growth not only in host countries but in countries of origin.
