Скачать или смотреть Higher Education as a Pathway to Voluntary Repatriation

A session was held to explore the unexplored link between higher education and repatriation. The session presented new research findings and offered insights into why refugee recipients of higher education tended to return home in disproportionate numbers and how they successfully navigated the process. UNHCR had reported that repatriation was the most desirable durable solution for the largest number of refugees, but higher education was overlooked as a potential pathway towards voluntary repatriation, by equipping refugees with the skills and knowledge to leverage opportunities in their home countries. The session sought to challenge the perception of higher education as a luxury and shared a call to action to transform the funding and scale of refugee higher education programs worldwide. The discussion was co-presented by Nadia Asmal and Regeza Kamunga.
