Description

Educational planning can help bridge the gap in access to quality education for refugee students.

In this episode, IIEP-UNESCO's Alexandra Waldhorn looks at the role of planning in providing inclusive and equitable education for displaced children and youth across the globe.

Becky Telford, the Chief of Education for the UN Refugee Agency, explains how educational opportunities diminish as displaced children grow older and why an equitable distribution of resources is critical. IIEP programme specialist Thalia Seguin breaks down the different dimensions of inclusion, including the role of data. And Damarice Otieno from Kenya’s Department of Refugee Services shares not only the challenges, but a path forward.

Produced by Alexandra Waldhorn and Sarah Elzas, who edited and mixed the episode.
