In 2018, nearly half of the #refugee population was below the age of 18.

For young refugees, education is often out of reach: Only 61% of refugee children attend primary school, less than 25% go to secondary school, & just 1% have access to #HigherEd. https://t.co/7d5GNtKLND

Only 1% of refugees have access to higher education, compared to 36% of global youth.

By combining refugee resettlement and tertiary education opportunities in Canada 🇨🇦, @UBC and @WorldUniService has changed the lives of refugees like Rhoda and Clement.

👏👏👏
