Zusatztext This book brings fascinating historical insights into how refugee education is shaped by states, international organizations, and refugees themselves. Drawing on oral histories from over 200 students, teachers, administrators, and program officers, Monaghan illuminates the decisions that have affected generations of refugee children and provides critical lessons for moving forward. Informationen zum Autor Christine Monaghan , PhD is a human rights researcher and advocate. Her teaching and research focus on the intersection between refugee education and globalization, and human rights education. Vorwort Provides an historical reconstruction and analysis of education programming in two of the largest refugee camps in the world and considers how lessons learned can apply to other refugee camps. Zusammenfassung What is education for an unknowable future? In Educating for Durable Solutions , Christine Monaghan explores how refugees and policymakers have answered this question over time by reconstructing the contemporary history of education in Kenya’s Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps. Through oral histories and archival research, Monaghan shows how, since the founding of both camps in 1991, refugees and policymakers have conceptualized, developed, implemented and changed refugee education programs. She also shows why and how, despite these changes, real challenges persist in refugee education in Dadaab, Kakuma, and other camps throughout the world; these include high numbers of out-of-school children and youth, high student to teacher ratios, unpredictable funding, and persistent questions regarding what refugee education is for. The author shifts focus from debates over the impacts of specific policies and programs and explores instead how and why different policies and programs were implemented whether they led to meaningful changes in the long-standing challenges of refugee education. She finds that when and where real changes occurred, individuals or small groups of refugees and policymakers acted with tremendous agency and as tireless advocates.
