Globalisation and Education for Refugee and Displaced Children

This book focuses on global education, and policy reforms for refugee and displaced children, which has ascended in importance due to increased conflict migration worldwide. The synthesis of research evidence suggests that there is great need to understand how host nations, non-governmental organizations, and international development agencies grapple with the challenges and opportunities posed by large refugee or displaced populations, especially in terms of educational provision for children and youth.

The book discusses the strategic directions and shifts in educational policy and practice to address global displacement. It discusses issues such as schooling and citizen identity formation, gender, societal integration (inclusion and exclusion), educational provision, and student marginalization or alienation amid conflict migration and displacement. The book also examines challenges posed by centralization/decentralization, diversity/uniformity, and curriculum standardization issues. It also explores new approaches to further develop and improve educational policy and practice, for refugee and displaced populations in non-Western countries.
