Education, Refugees and Asylum Seekers Zusammenfassung

Education, Refugees and Asylum Seekers Lala Demirdjian

This title offers a global exploration of formal and non-formal education provision to refugees and asylum seekers in refugee camps, and in schools and universities of host countries. What is the relationship between education and those seeking asylum or refuge? What is the impact of education being marginalized during conflict situations? Drawing on international research in numerous countries, including Thailand, North Korea, Lebenon, Africa, the USA and the UK, the contributors consider, conceptually and empirically, the provision of education to refugees and asylum seekers in their homeland or in host countries, analyzing the internal and external factors affecting educational provision during and after emergencies. Each chapter contains a summary of the key points and issues within the chapter to enable easy navigation, key contemporary questions to encourage you to actively engage with the material and an annotated list of suggested further reading to support you to take your exploration further. A companion website supports the text and provides updates and additional resources. This series presents an authoritative, coherent and focused collection of texts to introduce and promote the notion of education as a humanitarian response as a prime function of educational activity. The series takes a holistic interpretation of education, dealing not only with formal schooling and other systemic provisions in the mainstream, but rather with educational reality - teaching and learning in whatever form it comes at any age.

Education, Refugees and Asylum Seekers Bewertungen

'A very timely book. With social/political convulsions taking place more frequently in Third World countries these last two decades, the number of refugees and asylum seekers is on the rise. This makes it incumbent upon educators and policy makers to give more attention to the needs of this special category of people. The more we understand what these needs are, across the different countries and cases, the more likely that our help and assistance will become meaningful. This book and the cases it reports are a significant contribution in this direction.' Munir Bashshur, Professor of Education, American University of Beirut, Lebanon
'In depth case studies of educational provision for refugees and asylum seekers underpin this insightful and timely analysis of these crucially important and challenging issues.' Michael Crossley, Professor of Comparative and International Education, University of Bristol, UK
