Political Economy of Refugee Education

 

What would it take to ensure that all refugee young people have access to learning that enables them to feel a sense of belonging and prepares them to help build more peaceful and equitable futures? Analysis of the political economy of education can inform research, policy, and practice on this question.

The political economy of refugee education is distinct from political economy for citizens as it requires critically addressing fundamental questions and assumptions about:

  • responsibility and

  • possible futures

How can we address these questions about responsibility and possible futures toward ensuring equitable and effective education for all refugee children?
