Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper revisits and expands upon the findings of the ‘Multi-country Partnership to Enhance the Education of Refugee and Asylum-seeking Youth in Europe (PERAE)’ initiative, which was launched by the SIRIUS Network in 2016 to address the challenges of integrating refugee youth into European education systems. Amid the significant influx of refugees since 2015, PERAE conducted empirical assessments in seven European countries to examine the systemic and ad-hoc responses to the educational needs of refugee students. The project generated critical insights into the barriers to education for refugees and provided policy and practice recommendations aimed at improving access to quality education. In light of the continued rise in asylum applications and the persistent challenges faced by refugee students, this paper shifts from a national focus to a broader analysis, identifying overarching patterns in refugee education across Europe. It incorporates more recent findings to assess the current state of educational integration for refugees, highlighting ongoing issues such as limited resources, language barriers, and the need for coordinated efforts among stakeholders. The paper underscores the importance of understanding these patterns to inform future policies and practices that promote inclusive and equitable education for refugee youth in Europe.
