Education remains an impossible dream for many refugees and migrants

The older refugee and migrant children get, the less likely it is that they will get a quality education: less than a quarter of the
world’s refugees make it to secondary school and just one percent progress to higher education. Even for migrants who settle in
wealthy, developed host countries, accessing university is an uphill struggle.
For many young migrants in the UK, even those who have the legal right to remain in a new country, the idea of going to
university is almost an impossible dream: not only are they charged “overseas student” fees, which can be around double those of
“home” students but, until recently, they were denied access to student loans, which puts up another barrier to entry.
However, a ray of hope has been provided by Chrisann Jarrett, who is herself a young migrant (she was born in Jamaica and
moved to the UK at the age of 8). Whilst still a teenager, Chrisann set up Let Us Learn, a campaign for equal and fair treatment for
young migrants. In an interview with UN News, Chrisann explained how a 2015 court victory against the UK Government has made
a big difference to many young UK-based students born abroad.
“We recognized that over 2,000 students were being stopped from going to university because of their immigration status. So,
despite being a lawful resident in the country, they were being told that they couldn’t move forward with their educational
aspirations. In 2015, the Supreme Court agreed that this was discriminatory, and we managed to influence government policy,
which means that hundreds, if not thousands of young migrants are able to access a student loan and go to university, which
previously wasn’t the case.”
Ms. Jarrett said that the campaign was a cause worth fighting for, allowing potential talent, that would otherwise have been
overlooked, to develop for the benefit of the migrants, and the countries in which they live.
Education cannot wait
Migration has become one of the central themes of political discourse and media coverage in the UK and other European countries
over recent years, making it easy to forget that 92 percent of young refugees are hosted in developing countries. These states
have scant resources to ensure that they get an adequate education, and need support in order to be able to include refugee
children in their school systems. This is why Education Cannot Wait, the first global fund dedicated to education in emergencies
and protracted crises, was set up in 2016. Hosted by the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Education Cannot Wait brings together
public and private partners to mobilize the funding needed to deploy immediate and sustainable programmes tailor-made to the
educational needs of children affected by conflict.
One such example is Ethiopia’s refugee-hosting regions of Gambella and Benishangal-Gumuz, which received a $15 million grant
from the fund, to pay for new schools and teachers. Most of the children there fled from violence in South Sudan, and schools can
play a significant role in helping them to find stability and support.
The ‘horror’ of children devoid of hope
In February, Gordon Brown, former UK Prime Minister and UN Special Envoy for Global Education, warned that the world needs to
wake up to “the horror of so many children devoid of hope,” and gave as an example the situation for children at the Maria refugee
camp in Greece, where “no formal education is on offer to any of the hundreds of children who are there,” and where two young
boys attempted suicide. “At that age, their lives should be full of hope and excitement at every new dawn – but instead young
people are so devoid of hope, that they attempted to take their own lives”.
Speaking at the UN’s International Dialogue on Migration later that month, António Vitorino, Director-General of the International
Organization for Migration (IOM), said that “Too often, young migrants are denied access to training opportunities – vocational as
well as academic – or access to all parts of the labour market in countries of destination.” Many young migrants, he said,
experience discrimination that “reduces their prospects for growth, as well as their self-esteem. This is a dangerous cycle that we
must avoid: unduly limiting the potential of a generation who encapsulate a diverse experience and skills.”
