  In Roundtable Session: Educational Trends From International Data (Table 15)

Abstract

As refugee children continue to enroll in schools worldwide, attention to their educational needs and experiences has grown. In this study, we analyze the extent that schools and classrooms provide refugee students with equitable educational opportunities. Using data from the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018, on 130,803 teachers and 8,054 schools sampled from 41 predominantly distant resettlement host countries, we found lower levels of safety and social inclusion for refugee students but higher levels of preparation in multicultural education among their teachers. The results have international policy implications for supporting students with refugee backgrounds.
