UNESCO Bangkok commissioned this paper to examine strategies for addressing the needs of refugee, migrant and internally displaced children in the Asia-Pacific region. This document aims to create a stronger knowledge base to support Member States as they formulate education policies that are responsive to the needs of such children.

This document aims to:

Examine how linguistic diversity and human mobility intersect and impact minority, migrant and refugee children’s access to quality, inclusive education
Link policy priorities to promising practices, based on international frameworks and lessons learned from successful programmes
Recommend steps for improving language-in-education policies and their implementation.

To do this, this paper examines:

Global and regional trends in migration
The impact of migration on children’s education
Linguistic diversity and its implications for language-in-education policies and practices
Research and resources that support inclusive quality education for migrant and refugee children.
