For Refugees, Education Serves As Refuge
Education is often among the first casualties of war. We must work together to change that.
John Fallon in Bright
When most people think of refugee camps, their first mental images are of people living temporarily in inadequate tents. What we don’t usually realize is that families can live for years on end in settlement camps. And during that time, life continues. Babies learn to walk. Feisty children grow into rebellious teenagers. ¶ Most international aid groups make sure to give refugees basic food and water supplies.
Education is usually among the first casualties of sustained conflict. The international focus often moves on to the next conflict, leaving a massive skills and knowledge void in its wake. Children out of school are vulnerable to the influence of extremism, criminal behavior, and other forms of exploitation. Many host governments are stretched to the limits in their ability to absorb refugee students into already-struggling education systems.
The threat of an educational void is becoming abundantly clear in places like Syria. Of the hundreds of thousands who have fled the country, nearly half are not receiving any education at all. In Lebanon, there are more school-age refugees than public school students. Sadly, it’s a similar situation in nearby Jordan and Iraq.
