Journal on Education in Emergencies - Special Issue on Refugees and Education, Part 1
With the highest number of displaced people since the aftermath of World War II, the world is currently witnessing an unprecedented refugee crisis. At present there are 70.8 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, including 25.9 million refugees who have crossed international borders and thus are entitled to protection from international agencies (UNHCR 2019). In this special issue on refugees and education, the first of two parts, we showcase research on important developments in the field of refugee education across several regions, including the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa.
