Half of all refugee children (3.7 million) are out of school. The #RefugeeForum needs the international community to find ways to fix this. Here are our thoughts on how to do this @save_children@Refugees@pearson
#RefugeeForum paving the way for a global plan on refugee education with +$350 million in pledges – read why education stole the show this week in @Devex https://t.co/PkuUZUlfDm
Great to hear that @GPforEducation will allocate $250m of accelerated funding to countries hosting refugees, & so important that this will be ON TOP of the existing country allocation, fulfilling @save_children’s recommendation in our Time to Act report. Thank you! #RefugeeForum
Switzerland pledges to support the creation of an education in emergencies hub in Geneva during the Spotlight on Inclusion of Refugees in National Education Systems at the #RefugeeForum@SwissHumAidUnit@SwissMFA
What is more sustainable than #education? Donors need to push. We need to include students with disabilities. Yes, there are more displaced persons also with impact on their mental health + we need to invest more. We have to work with the communities. Manuel Bessler @SwissMFA
Great to see #RefugeeForum discussing in depth the #inclusion of Refugees in the national education systems. This is the best way to provide sustainable learning for #RefugeeChildren
#RefugeeForum coming up at⏲️1PM: #Inclusion of refugees in national #education systems. Come to room XIX. With an impressive panel of practitioners + policy-makers we'll discuss how to do "inclusion" in different contexts. Education on top of agenda of #RefugeeForum partners!
Are you pledging to supporting refugees living on the boarder at the #RefugeeForum? Check out reflections from the Standing in the Gap education project on the Myanmar-Bangladesh border https://t.co/XlSLqzxqVc @cote_uk
At the #RefugeeForum the private sector is stepping up support to refugees and communities hosting them through concrete pledges.
I am grateful to @VodafoneGroup, @LEGOfoundation, @TentOrg, @iccwbo and Ingka Group, Inter IKEA Group and IKEA Foundation, and to many others.
A lack of well-coordinated funding is a barrier to delivering education to #refugees. Thank you to @WorldBank@GPforEducation & @EduCannotWait for making a joint pledge to improve collaboration & coordination of financing for #RefugeeEducation https://t.co/bCyVAnoGQk
Access to accredited curriculum is VITAL for #Refugees to get sustainable education. This can be done through gradual transition from informal to the formal system. Check out how @cote_uk supported the learning of #RohingyaRefugees https://t.co/EQecadLxKk #RefugeeForum
Re-Framing #education in Emergencies. What abt after emergency period finished? Refugee should have access to formal #education. It's fundamental human rights including for #refugee. Our #Rohingya people are deprived of formal education in many hosting countries.
At the #RefugeeForum? make sure to visit the Promising Practices @ the Marketplace of Good Practices and check out +20 case studies of creative refugee education projects. If not there, all case studies are on the website https://t.co/IeZXqctu7A @Refugees@Pearson@save_children
It is time to see @Refugees differently, to see them with a real lens as people with great potential. what will your action be? Support or ignore? #RefugeeForum
It's time to see refugees differently.
Like everyone, when given the chance and the opportunity, they can achieve great things.
And we can all do our part to help refugees thrive, not just survive! #EveryoneCounts
