Challenges… Limited legal work opportunities for refugees and resulting pressure for children to work to contribute to household income- Child Labor
The challenge of re-introducing children into the formal, structured school environment after having been out for so long and facing trauma/PSS distress.
The challenge of responding to the many different needs and barriers of refugee children (e.g. some can access school, some cannot- no legal paperwork, out of school for 3 years.) Every refugee child is unique in their circumstances and the specific barriers they face.
The challenge of a lack of approved, standardized accelerated learning program curriculum or guidance for out of school children—particularly those not eligible or who cannot yet access public schools .
