Migration, Displacement and Education: Building Bridges not Walls (UNESCO. 2018)
People have always moved from one place to another, some seeking better opportunities, some fleeing danger. These movements can have a great impact on education systems. The 2019 edition of the Global Education Monitoring Report is the first of its kind to explore these issues in-depth across all parts of the world.
A team of international migrants has assembled this report, four of its members are children of refugees. They don’t deny that people look at migration – and migrants – from different viewpoints. Their research demonstrates the extent to which education can help open up those perspectives and bring greater opportunities for all. Investing in the education of those on the move is the difference between laying a path to frustration and unrest and laying a path to cohesion and peace.
