Migration Summit: Post-Secondary Pathways for Refugee and Displaced Students
Only 5% of refugees have access to higher education. UNHCR and partners are committed to achieving enrolment of 15% of young refugee women and men in higher education by the year 2030 – the 15by30 target. How can universities and colleges open up more, new and better post-secondary pathways for refugee, displaced and migrant learners? From creating flexible, hybrid learning opportunities to opening up new online universities, these university leaders speak to how higher education is adapting in an age of displacement.
