Highlights

This report provides essential data and information on educational challenges faced by nearly 50 million uprooted children around the world. It notes that some of these children and their families migrate in pursuit of better education or job opportunities, while others are forced from their homes because of conflicts or natural disasters. Whether they are refugees, internally displaced people or migrants, the report concludes, uprooted children are still children who have a right to education – and the safety, stability and opportunity that education can provide.
