AHEEN members and our refugee researchers embark on a comprehensive assessment on access, participation and completion of education for refugees and asylum seekers residing in urban areas in Kenya.
As the operational context has shifted and the inclusion of refugee learners in national service delivery gathers momentum, while the medium- to long-term economic effects of the pandemic make themselves felt, there appears to be reduced goodwill to support refugee learners. The focus of this study is to create evidence on barriers and opportunities regarding education for refugees and asylum seekers residing in urban areas in Kenya, and to identify policy-relevant approaches that might also find their application in camp contexts.
