The gap in the percentage of global education and the refugee is wider with just 63% of the refugee who have access to primary education and the percentage drop as they move higher to secondary and higher education, where 33% gain access. The nation would have more uneducated citizen and the result won't be positive on the growth of the nation on all sides. More access to primary refugee is highly needed and it should be supported.

@benedictaN ,you're expressed several solid facts about the plight of refugee children in the context of their education.Thanks for sharing your answer with us.

@GLORIOUS12 ,thanks for sharing your answer with us.Its surely well thought out.

Thanks so much for engaging sir.

@GLORIOUS12 ,you're very welcome..

Education as an ancient tool for the transfer of knowledge from generations to another is the best platform that we all have enjoyed. The world today has grown so sophisticatedly because men have acquired knowledge to a very high degree. But imagine being one among a set of male refugees that are shut out of the global light of knowledge because there are no schools to be enrolled in the part of the world that you are today?

Nice attempt

Imagine for a second how much students take education for granted. Whether it's goofing around or turning assignments in late, it's all for a thought that education is useless. We in society tend to believe that education is work put over us and the fact that is useless. How many people wish to receive the form of education you're getting, while you take it for granted. Think about it. Because you went to high school and received your diploma, you are able to attend college and work towards your dream job like that. What about people from poor countries that have no access to any form of education? How would they reach their dreams? Think about it.

We tend to take for granted that primary education is for everybody. Can you imagine a young person who couldn’t attend primary education, just because they are a refugee? We all know that future prospects are not promising for people whithout basic education. So the question is, what can we do about it?

While we have good memories of secondary school mates, lunchtime, school bells, teachers, and graduation day, young Abdul is not one of the 24% of refugee children who have secondary education.

Abdul, who is 14 years old, had a brief primary education and stopped midway because of the refugee education crisis in Northern Nigeria due to the boko haram insurgent.

The current data of refugee education in the region is alarming: primary education [refugee - 63%, global - 91%], secondary education [refugee - 24%, global - 84%], and higher education [refugee - 3%, global - 37%].

At our organisation, we have enabled more than 800 refugee children go to primary and secondary schools. Some have graduated and are hoping for a higher education. They can hope because we made it possible. It's not just education; we are giving them a better future. Join us in solving the refugee education crisis. Please donate today.”

My name is Jombo. I’m 12 years old and I’m from Juba. I came to Uganda a year and two months ago and I have not been to school for two years. I stopped going to school because the situation became so bad and it was too dangerous. In Sudan, we were scared to go to school because they used to shoot at us in schools. I lost my parents to this war, so I have to work hard to support my siblings, whereby I need education to have my dream come true. Education is the most important thing for your future. I would love to return to school. Only 3% refugees can access high education of 37% globally. We therefore want to turn stories of refugee children like Jombo and increase refugees education access.

Universally we are told as we grow up how important a good education is, that a good education will give us opportunities to change our lives for the better & to achieve our dreams. While a good education is a reality for some of us, in many parts of the world education is a luxury for the masses. Do you know that compared to the number of global primary education a little more than half of refugees receive primary education. When it comes to secondary education this number is even less. At the level of tertiary education, only one tenth of refugees receive tertiary education compared to the global rate. This clear disparity is extremely alarming.

Effectively stated. Short & to the point.

The point is driven through using a narrative as well as numbers to support it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, what you see here is not just figures presented in colors. It's the gap difference in education among two categories of humans separated by a combination of circumstances.
According to the 1951 Refugee Convention, a refugee is “someone who is unable or unwilling to return to their country of origin owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion.”
Now, imagine yourself going through this ordeal and still have the desire to be educated. A lot of refugees actually want to be educated but their access is either limited or totally restricted which led to the chart you now see.
Should we just look on why the gap increases? Would you kindly join hands with our organization to create meore access to education for refugees? Please donate so t heir dreams could be realized.

A very good explanations about how it can be created. Congratulations.

What is the difference between A refugee and a normal citizen?

As a refugee, there are times when you are expected to do somethings for your family in order for your parents to be satisfied with who you are or what you are because of what happened or what has been lost in the past, while being a normal citizen you get to choose what you want , how things should be done and who you want to become in the future.

Imagine if you are refugee who doesn't know the importance of education and how it will help you in the future. What benefits education gives, the privileges and opportunities it gives you and how life could be with education. A normal citizen can be fortunate and unfortunate at the same time because they have the privilege to at least have a taste of education in a younger age.
As you can see on the graph given above, global education is higher than the refugee education. why? because in my opinion as children in the refugee camp attend school, they drop out slowly as they reach secondary and higher education due to low-esteem, discrimination, or any other things that would block one to learn. And as for the global education, it increase because the priviliges are given to those fortunate ones
I think its unfair because it the governments dont see the need of such people because they are looking for people with quality instead of training one.

imagine having to leave your home to foreign land because of wars and invasion of the land of your birth. having no where to go to except a shelter in a distant land, where you barely have a roof over your head and your next meal promised because getting a job is close to impossible . These hardships make basic necessities like clothes and an education seem like a luxury. This is the reality of the average refugee that has led to an educational crises as 63% of refugees have a primary education as compared to the global figure of 91% and 24% of refugees have a secondary education as compared to the global average of 84% while only 3% of refugees get a tertiary education as compared to the global average of 37%.

Welldone! i love how you crafted this , its really smart!

Do you know out of 100 refugee students only 3 students went for higher education compared to global students where out of 100 37 students goes for higher education. The scenario of refugee students starts itself from the primary level education where only 63 out of hundred students joins for primary education. Due to lack of sufficient resources for their livelihood refugee parents are not giving a golden opportunity for their children to get proper education. So lets get united and make a education available to all in this earth.

How many times as a kid have you complained when you had to go to school? That's because we have all given that for granted. Imagine if you couldn't give for granted being surrounded by other children every day, by teachers who take care of you, being able to learn and to grow... You are now imagining the reality of Syrian children who are refugees.

Exactly...... It is WE not I
People gets connected when you being them into the picture

Amazing storyline

Well Wel together

Amazing story.....well put together

Well structured story line

So relatable

Imagine yourself are the age of 13, now imagine how industrious you will be by now.

This is what we tend to achieve for the children through our skill acquisition training program.

Imaging bwing the part of these refugee. it will be sad, tears or anythings. we need to share or might become as a volunteer to teaching and give them some soft skills to learn due to their low education.

Education is an essential part of our growth to shape the society we live in and the duties to be performed. An educated society has highly educated people in different specialties at its disposal leading to increased efficiency and effectiveness of service that is reaped by the said society. Refugees are part of our society and they are going to work towards service delivery in our society. Education of refugees at all levels, just as is education of the community, is essential to improved service delivery in the community.

Now, how about we being the one that very excited to learn from school, but we must going down from top mountain to get to school, and suddenly we can't because of landslide that wash out our land from the top until down that makes our land, houses, school, and missing our family because of the accident, how you're going to be? sad? angry? is it makes you feel? can you still thinking about studying the best for yourself in the camp?

Amazing Dalia!

I would turn this graph into a "we" story by relating the audience members' lived experiences and their access to primary, secondary, and higher education to that of refugees. By comparing refugee access to educations versus global access, the audience will feel more compelled to care about the cause as they will relate to the "we" part of the narrative.

With the need for economical development in our Nation, we need to make refugee education one of our priority as this will help reduce the burden of been responsible for them. When we teach them how to live better lives, we will also be living better lives as individuals and as a Nation.

With the decline in education especially among refugee. How will you feel if you have to wake up every day among refugees without opportunities for education. The graph above shows the refugees are mostly affected compared to global education crisis. We must all put all hands on deck to make sure everyone deserves education .

We all had a dream of what we wanted to become when we grow up. And by some sheer of luck and support from family, we were able to go to school and obtain the education we have today which set us on a path to actualizing our dreams. Everybody in this room today knows what it feels like to go to school and get an education. Imagine if you dropped out of school as a girl child and forced into early marriage because your family could not afford the financial cost of schooling for you and your siblings or you had to pick up menial jobs as a boy child to support your struggling family.

This is the plight of most children who have lost their homes and have become refugees in a foreign land. The priorities have changed for their families who barely make enough to provide for food and other basic needs of their household. While you and I as kids could dream of acquiring the best education up to any level, these children are forced to abandon their dreams and merely hope for survival thus making education one of the least of their pressing priorities. But we know what education can do in the life of a girl child and a boy child. We can spark a light of hope again in these children and help them reach their highest potential in life through education.

Most of us in this room took being educated for granted; in fact, many of us resented the fact that we were required to accept our exemplary and free education. We are literally surrounded by free, appropriate and stellar educational opportunities that many of us choose to ignore. Imagine that this disappeared tomorrow. Would we miss it? Would we realize what we had was the envy of the world? No need to imagine- this is the reality for many across the globe.

I work in schools and realize what a gift we have!

Nice to read comments that are inspiring and has helped me realize where I need to do better.

we live in a world where the future of refugee families is truly at stake. only 3% of refugees have access to higher education. This mean only 1 in 10 refugee become educated right up the university. This means refugee family with just 63% of them accessing primary education is likely to remain vulnerable, poor and with highest illiterate in the world.

This means we are going to live behind over 60% of refugee uneducated and we are failing to achieve the United Nations Goals. That's why we are calling on our support to bring education to 60,000 refugees population in Cameroon.

All humans are equal and have the right to a decent job but yet, Paulette like 1 out of every 4 refugee children did not get the opportunity to go to secondary school. Will she stand the chance to Professionally compete against Eric who is presently writing his GCE A level examination? What if you had to run and leave everything behind like Paulette, what if you could not afford your studies? What would have become of you today? Our organisation helps youngstars like Paulette get an education so that they can stand a chane to compete against other youths on the job market. Please join us create an equal opportunity for these refugees by donating to our cause

We are expected to narrate a "we" story. Seems like yo did not understand the assignment

Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has a right to education and that "Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.

However, for refugees, education is more of a privilege than a right. Compared to global education, refugee education falls way below in all levels. For example, it fared 63% in primary education compared to global performance of 91%.

Growing up, we all must have experience what education and a better condition to study is, close from school, go home, lunch is served and take a nap and to your assignments. Now imagine the life of a child coming from a crisis affected area, overwhelmed with trauma and must study in an unusual environment where all he sees are sad people. it will affect his learning process and his ability to perform well in class.

Remember being at primary school and seeing the wide range of faces there?
But at high school and especially at university, it was a different group. Fewer than one in 20 of the refugees who you'd have seen at primary school takes part in higher education.
They're no less bright than anyone else, so why is that?

The highest impact of education in our society is mostly evident in students who are able to obtain any form of higher education. while 37% out of the 91% children enlisted in global education are able live out their full potential as a result of completing their higher education, only 3% out of the 61% who were fortunate to be enrolled in the refugee education program can enjoy the benefits that come with completing any form of higher education.

Imagine running a 3-course race in which you knew for sure the other participants were about 1.5 times certain to beating you to the finish for the first course, 3 times as likely in the second course and again 1.5 times as likely in the final course. How would you feel? Overwhelmed? Powerless? Defeated?
This the reality of education for refugees around the globe and yet most us educated adults don't even know about this.
Now you may be asking in your mind just as I am, what can we do about this? Well, I'd like to share with you what our organization is doing....

A close look at this graphs shows us that children living in this refugee camps have very low access to education when compared to our children who have several opportunities.

well written

The world is a more prosperous place when all people have an opportunity to get an education.

Well said!

Well said!

imagine a community that does not embrace basic primary education? we are an organization that is focused on making sure that all children within our community go to school. we are focusing on 100% children getting primary education .we have geared towards making sure that not only going to primary school but also joining secondary school and later joining university

Presents new challenges in responding to the multiple and complex forms of violence and risk that children face.

Going to school. Did your parents make an effort for you to go to school and sign up for one? Where you woken up by them? Had your breakfast ready? Had your later-on lunch ready or paid for? Had your uniforms cleaned and ready? All the school supplies you need and a backpack of your choice? Even a paid-for ride every day to the school?
Imagine not having any of these for a minute, not even your parents... You only fend for yourself and the support of the refugee aid program. Imagine all the hardships these kids have to go through to go to school, plus, having to go far, walking with an empty stomach to go to a class. These are the children and youth we want to help. Their situation is bad, they deserve better. Help us help them forge a better future by donating today.

We believe every child should have a chance to education. Guatemalan children who live in poverty don't have privilege to go to school because they have to earn a living. El Lustrador Foundation is working to help children who live and work in a local landfill in Guatemala City to be able to have access to the public school.

Escuela Marcos Martinez is a local school located in the vicinity of a landfill in Zona Tres, Guatemala City, where there are about 30,000 people, 320 houses (families) living in the area. Approximately 2,000 people live next to the landfill and work to collect trash to trade with food and basic necessities.
The majority of children of school age who live here cannot go to school because they work to collect trash to help their families. Children who are currently in school also struggle to keep up with the cost of schooling. Please help us donating.

I think it's about how we put the conditions that everyone can relate to such as "beautiful day" in that note it represents how people with normal eyes can feel it and it makes them feel more sympathy.

When we were children, we sure got a proper education. It has been a big part of our lives. The only thing that we need to focus on was studying. But these refugees, don't get the privilege to get high education.

Imagine yourself at the age of 13, now imagine how industrious you will be by now.
This is what we tend to achieve for the children through our skill acquisition training program.

We are all ardent believers of the phrase; "education is the best legacy". Hence, the existence of a globally recognized education standard. Sadly, while the world (you, your children and friends) at large ticks this box, a certain group of people do have have adequate access to the 'best legacy'. As such, they have and are still falling short of the generally accepted level and standard of education. I'm sure you'll agree with me that it is important to lend a hand and pull them up to the standard necessary.

We all started our lives as kids with dreams of becoming either a pilot, doctor or whatever profession that caught our interest. it was as simple as ABC because our teachers told us we just have to go to school, read our books and get an education, then we can become anything we wanted. If getting an education is all it took to achieve our dreams and grow in knowledge. Can you imagine how limited the opportunities is for those who lost their homes and are at risk of losing their dreams. According to statistics, only 3% of refugees are said to have gotten a higher education and the chance to fulfill their dreams in contrast to the 37% of the global population who have attained a higher education and have higher opportunities of becoming who they desire to become in life.

not bad at all

@Daliajacob I like how you build your story from the start. Providing the entire picture from the start is something worth mentioning when telling a story. I also like how you included other beneficiaries, such as parents, in your story. Giving the audience a complete picture of the story makes them feel as if they are in the story and, in some ways, they are in the same situation as the characters.

Access to education is universally every child's right. But have you ever wondered how refugee children think and feel about this?

This is superb!!!

thank you

this is not bad at all

How do you feel about your education level and being on a high profile job or at least a decent job that allows you to enjoy your life or at least feed and educate your family and relatives? For sure you are proud of your hard work and effort you made to fulfill your dreams and of all those who supported you. Do you sometimes imagine how life could be so hard if you did not make it?

Think of refugees who are displaced and taken away home by warsa and distasters to refugee camps. Living in a refugee camp is a tough life where food, money and freedom are all scarce. Accessing education is like visiting Dubai with a family for a holiday, to a security guard in Zimbabwe.

I'm certain that at least 90% of us have finished primary school and were lucky enough to finish high school and even attend university or college. But that is because we are not refugees. Refugees are lucky to attend primary school, while for us it's the norm. Most of us went to high school without thinking how lucky we are, it was what was expected. While less than a quarter of refugees are able to attend high school, and less than 10% make it to university or college. This is a crisis that needs to be addressed, as everyone deserve the right to access education, no matter their status in the world.

Imagine you have a dream, to be a CEO or to be an Architect or whatever you want to be. But, your dreams have no hope of being realised due to lack of proper education.
This is the case of millions of refugee children around the world. They do not have the luxury to have such dreams because they can't afford to go to schools. They can only try to survive each day, looking for the next meal.
Donate today to help these children dream!

In a world where basic education seem to be inherit for children of the educated. imagine the world of the uneducated, where the parents had no access to basic education, how would their children learn the basics of life. How would the children learn that the world is going digital when they do not even have access to the basic.

All of us in one way or another strive to make the world a better place, why don't we start by educating the underprivileged?
We can all put hands on deck and make sure that these people at least get basic education. But I m sure we can do better. Thank you.

Globally, most children achieve primary and secondary education, and close to 40% of the global populations achieves some form of higher education. We grow up thinking this is the norm, however in the refugee community this is far from the case. Only 2/3 of refugee children get a primary education, and only about a quarter of the refugee children have a possibility for completing secondary education. Higher education for refugees might as well not exist as ONLY a miniscule 3% manage to get any higher education. We need to change this, and make sure refugee children get the same opportunities that children all over the world take for granted.

It's a competitive world even for the educated ones, but atleast they have what they need to thrive. The competition is unbearable for the refugees, how can they thrive without education

Children have the right to education. Why should the refugees be an exception

We are happy, yes! We are, we got a sound education, then we need to help those who are in need of this same education. Then we can make a better future and make a better place to stay without violent crimes.

We all that are here have privileges to peaceful education. Imagine being chase out of your own country, and all hope on been educated is been chattered.
Also imagine being a refugee and the only way you can have access to education is through people’s donation.
That is exactly what this children are facing, their country has failed them, and this is another chance to fulfill their dream of being a graduate.

Good. It seems like we that would work

Imagine having to grow up in a community where access to Education is a struggle for most Children in those communities; not to include the high rate of insecurities in such communities, causing a large numbers of people fleeing their homes for a better life.
Across different communities today 90% of children are unable to attend both primary and secondary schools, as they are been faced with this various disadvantages like fleeing their homes and having limited access to proper quality education and their parents having little or no income to train them through schools .

Our organisation today is set with a mandate to provide quality education for 600 children across various affected communities through our #GrowAChild Program, Children who are unable to gain access to schools such as primary education and secondary education are now able too, this program was been implemented in other to break the learning barriers recorded from individuals who are affected by certain crisis or issues in their communities.

Over time our organisation have been able to provide this learning educational system to over 150 children across 3 communities and we aim at increasing the figures by 500 Children in 6 communities through your donations/Partnership, in order to impact more liveS through the Grow A Child program.

Yes that seems relevant

That's somehow relevant

We shall make audience feel the character and his/her circumstances.

Lets take a few moment to play back our lives event to how childhood was fun and all bed of roses. For most of us that grew up with a hearty family, had good food and shared remarkable moments together. I guess dad and mum probably dropped us up at school in the morning and come pick us up by noon. Imaging how all these standard upbringing impacted on the persons we are today. How basic you, you trivialize it i believe. Conversely, paint a vivid picture on the premise that you never had a proper home, and there was no dad and mum so you had to be in the mud every morning staring and watching as these cool kids pass by to school in nice cars with their mum and dad. Where do you feel you'd be in life at the moment if you were this poor kid. These poor kid I just described is doing way better than refugee kids. So now imaging the perceptions of life and the hopelessness that a refugee kid has by default, the distorted psych, the inferiority complex he or she has by default. What a difficult life to picture, how painful can it be to actually leave as a refugee kid..? As yourself.

Imagine a world where there are no social amenities like schools, classes, or even teachers to teach. Imagine leaving in deplorable conditions that access to even the basic of amenities is a challenge. Well, out of 10 refugees 4 complete primary education, while 2 complete secondary education while 1 complete higher education.
Our organization recognizes the hardships the refugees go through. Hence, we work closely with them through a program that links them up to educational institutions. For those that cannot join the learning institutions we put them into small flexible groups and assign tutors. Overall, we help refugees achieve their educational goals

we were the kids with no ambitions or goals, but we know that something lacking in our life. when we see the educated people we only think food is the most important than the education for us. but we realize the truth when one of our mate got educated by someone and achieved everything in their life. what we see that's what we believe. that is the truth.

Many people have been forced to flee their homes and millions of children are denied nationality and lack of access to basic rights such as education which limits refugees to learn about more about themselves and the world around them which makes them to struggle to rebuild their lives and communities. Together we can join hands and provide the resources they need to have a quality education.

War and human displacement affect education at all levels and especially for men. Let us advocate for and maintain peace to enhance equality in education.

We want to create an inclusive and diverse world. This is where we can start, create opportunities for refugee kids to complete their studies. It's just one step forward, which begins with a change in our hearts. Change that encompasses these students to make an empowered youth.

In this day’s quality and accessible education has become a key to opening many doors, you will agree with me that we are all seated in this room because of our educational strides. It is a fact that some of the younger generation will never have the the opportunity we all had educationally because they have found their self in refugee camps where they have little or no access to education, we can change this narrative giving them a chance to access good and quality education.

six in every ten refugee can access primary education unlike nine in every adult of my audience here. shockingly, only three in every one hundred refugee can gain access to higher education.

It's unfortunate that aside poor accommodation and nutrition the children have little access to education which supposedly is a bridge to a better tomorrow. These children are like any other children who deserves the best education so that their future and our future is secured by this human resource who need to be well educated today for our tomorrow. I call upon all the stakeholders let us join our efforts to secure our future in these children who will serve and lead at various places.

as a child we all learned that basic education was essential, however still 1 in 4 children cannot have access to it because of the lack of a basic education establishment. to date we have managed to bring 400 out-of-school children back to school and with your help we could still do more

Imagine waking up one day and heading to work but when you get there, you are not able to read or write or do any calculations. How long would you function in that job? What kind of job could you get if you were fired from that job and could not read to fill out an application form? How would you provide for yourself and any others who rely on you? While we take our ability to read, write, and do mathematics for granted, many displaced people are not getting the opportunity to go to school. If that had been you, would you be where you are now?

I would take out the word "supposedly" because that creates a bit of doubt, yet all studies show an education does offer a bridge to a better tomorrow. I like how you compare children to others who deserve a great future!

What we can all see on the chat today is the effect of crises and immigration in our education system. How can we make it better? How can we make our male refugees have access education? We can start this journey be determining the reasons behind the low education rate amongst our male refugees. According to the result conducted by a team of with 100 male refugees, we discovered that the major cause of decline in male refugee education is lack of free educational opportunities. How do we improve our educational policies to accommodate our male refugees?

Have you ever stopped to ask what became of your classmate who stopped schooling? He/she dropped out but we continued schooling. Education is a gift that we have been blessed with and many of us seated here don't know how blessed we to have received an education. Just like our old classmates, there are millions of refugee children who can't go to school due to wars and conflict that has ravaged their cities, communities and country. The number of out of school children keep increasing as shown on this graph. Children in their formative years should be in school and it is time we take a stand and put an end to education crises. We can do this!

Como sociedad, todos tenemos un papel importante en garantizar que cada niño, independientemente de su origen o circunstancias, tenga acceso a una educación de calidad. Sin embargo, hay miles de niños refugiados en todo el mundo que enfrentan barreras significativas para acceder a la educación y realizar su potencial.

Este gráfico muestra claramente la brecha alarmante entre los refugiados y sus contrapartes no refugiados en términos de acceso a la educación. Es una llamada a la acción para que nos unamos y trabajemos juntos para resolver este problema.

Podemos empezar por apoyar a organizaciones y iniciativas que brindan educación a los refugiados. También podemos educarnos y sensibilizarnos sobre esta crisis y compartir información con nuestra red de amigos y familiares. Además, podemos presionar a nuestras autoridades políticas para que adopten políticas y programas que aborden esta desigualdad y brinden un futuro más brillante a los niños refugiados.
