Using case studies and other empirical research, this volume presents a broad and in-depth overview of the various methods implemented to integrate the refugees into society. The international case studies reveal the complexity of the perception-practice dynamic and the multi-faceted factors that influence various levels of integration.

Refugee Education is spot-on concerning the absolute necessity of competent and caring education for refugees as THE restorative path to a productive, meaningful life. This work is a must for anyone who cares about solving our global refugee crisis.


— Dr. Jeff Gardner, COO, The Thrive Foundation

The 21st century has no more compelling issues facing education than refugee resettlement and managing migrant crises. Spanning child-centered and adult education, contributors to this book have thoughtfully covered topics of interest to leaders and teachers who seek restorative, empathetic, and long-term development of refugees to not only help them survive, but thrive in their new paradigm.


— Elisabeth E. Bennett, Associate Teaching Professor, Northeastern University, USA

A significant resource containing important case studies related to refugee and IDP adult education issues. Academics will find the work to be compelling in its research framework toward addressing refugee education needs, and practitioners will benefit from its identification of a refugee's future critical success factors.
