This publication examines the evidence base for key assumptions on using mobile technology to address individual refugees’ learning challenges, broader education system challenges, and challenges to providing refugees with specific levels and types of education. The report presents findings from a review of 117 relevant papers and reports, and lessons drawn from the implementation of 52 projects that use mobile learning for refugees and the actual use of 35 digital apps or platforms. While acknowledging a limited reach, the report identifies effective mobile solutions and organizational strategies that should be scaled up.
