Dear Colleagues,
It is a great pleasure to share news regarding the publication of Refugee Education 2030: A Strategy for Refugee Inclusion (https://www.unhcr.org/5d651da88d7 ). We are indebted to the many among you who contributed to this updated refugee education strategy. Its evolution over the last 18 months owes much to your insights and inputs during and between consultations in 2018 and 2019.
The global displacement situation is evolving rapidly and has attracted so many new education partners whose valuable contributions deserve to be shared, adapted, amplified or scaled. In consequence, this iteration of the Refugee Education 2030 strategy has been conceived as a living document. Before the end of 2019, it will be housed on an online platform which will provide access to an evolving repository of promising practices, case studies, guidance, and other support linked to its strategic objectives and approaches. Governments, partners and UNHCR staff embarking on changes or grappling with persistent barriers will be able to see how others are practically shifting the ways and means of education response for people of concern and their host communities, and what new questions and issues arise as they approach the 2030 goal of equitable, quality education for all. We invite your active engagement.
The platform will also serve as a longitudinal archive of experience for analysis, review and evaluation, and contribute to reporting for the quadrennial Global Refugee Forums (https://www.unhcr.org/global-refugee-forum.html ), the first of which will take place in Geneva on 17-18 December 2019. If you haven’t yet had an opportunity to join as a co-sponsor of the education theme co-sponsorship arrangements on the GRF website (https://www.unhcr.org/co-sponsorship-arrangements.html ) or devise a pledge (https://www.unhcr.org/5cc836594 ) but would like to participate, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Regular updates related to school participation data, as well as achievements and challenges related to education issues, will continue to be collated for the annual UNHCR Education Report in the years to come, and your participation and sharing of evidence-based good practice is welcomed. The 2019 education report is available Stepping Up: Refugee Education in Crisis (https://www.unhcr.org/5d651cbd4 ).
Translations of the strategy in Arabic, French and Spanish will be available shortly. Please disseminate Refugee Education 2030: A Strategy for Refugee Inclusion broadly among your networks.
Many thanks once again, and happy reading!
