    Abstract The so-called refugee wave in the summer of 2015 led to an impressive wave of helpfulness in Austrian society. Universities Austria (uniko)—the umbrella organization of the 22 public universities in Austria—set up and launched an initiative called MORE. MORE provides refugees and asylum seekers with additional opportunities and perspectives that go beyond basic tools for survival. All 22 public universities implemented MORE, albeit in different ways. The article draws on a specific case—the MORE initiative—which aims to integrate refugee students into university life and higher education, as well as on data collected within the scope of evaluating the particular cases at hand. Analysis focuses on whether MORE has contributed to integrate refugee students. Drawing on different integration theories, the findings of this evaluation provide an insight as to how integration is achieved and affected by influencing factors such as personal characteristics, the usage of program elements, etc. Hence, the paper gives insight in the applicability of different integration theories and may be helpful for improving MORE or similar initiatives. The results confirmed the assumptions of modern sociological integration theories. Universities who offer the MORE program can conclude that they should take care of special, vulnerable groups, and that they should offer more than language classes in order to foster integration. Integration depends on the characteristics of the refugee group, the general societal and political climate, and on the specific attitudes towards the group in question.

  • Refugee Education: Integration Models and Practices in OECD Countries.

    Type Journal Article
    Author Lucie Cerna
    Abstract The recent refugee crisis has put many OECD countries under considerable pressure to accommodate and integrate large numbers of refugees. Refugee students are a particularly vulnerable group due to their forced displacement, but their needs are not always met by education systems, which can hinder the integration potential of these students. This poses considerable challenges as the integration of refugee students in education systems is important for their academic outcomes as well as their social and emotional well-being. The success (or lack of) integration in schools can also affect the future labour market and social integration potential of these children and youth. While there is a growing body of research on the integration of immigrants, policy-relevant research on refugee children and youth from an educational perspective is rather limited, fragmented and case specific. Detailed surveys and research projects focusing on the current wave of refugees that allow for cross-country comparisons are not yet available. Drawing on research from previous refugee waves, the paper examines key needs of refugee students and factors that promote their integration. It proposes a holistic model of integration in education that responds to the learning, social and emotional needs of refugee students. Furthermore, the paper examines what type of policies and practices are in place in OECD countries that support the integration of refugee students. Nonetheless, evaluations of practices and policies are often missing, which makes it difficult to assess whether they are successful. The paper finishes with some policy pointers on how to promote the integration of refugee students. Key Words OECD Refugees Education

  • Refugees and Asylum-Seekers in Ireland

    Type Book
    Author Cullen, P.
    Abstract A critical examination of the reaction of Irish society to the arrival of asylum-seekers and refugees, and the failure of society to deal with the issue humanely and efficiently. The issue of asylum-seekers and refugees has come from nowhere to become one of the most controversial in Irish society in recent years. It has brought the best out of a minority of Irish people, and the worst out of many more. The sudden reversal of decades of emigration, and its replacement by immigration, has profoundly altered Irish self-identity. In the middle of an economic boom, on a scale never before seen, Irish standards of hospitality and adherence to standards of international human rights have been tested, and found severely wanting. The treatment of asylum-seekers became a bureaucratic shambles and a failure of generosity, and came to involve an enormous waste of human potential. The Irish, so long the victim in the pages of history, found they were not immune to racism and the tendency to blame the outsider. This book examines the track record of the Government, politicians, bureaucrats and general population in dealing with asylum-seekers and other immigrants. It tells a story of failure, negligence and missed opportunities, leavened only by a few positive outcomes and hopeful signs for the future. It places the arrival of about 10,000 asylum-seekers in Ireland over the past five years in an historical perspective, and examines developments in Europe and beyond. The response of the main organs of Irish society is assessed, and the perspective of asylum-seekers themselves examined. The book also looks at options for the future and makes a number of recommendations. Key words: Refugees Asylum-Seekers Ireland

  • Finding “hard to find” literature on hard to find groups: A novel technique to search grey literature on refugees and asylum seekers

    Type Journal Article
    Author Joanne Enticott
    Author Kimberly Buck
    Author Frances Shawyer
    Abstract There is a lack of information on how to execute effective searches of the grey literature on refugee and asylum seeker groups for inclusion in systematic reviews. High-quality government reports and other grey literature relevant to refugees may not always be identified in conventional literature searches. During the process of conducting a recent systematic review, we developed a novel strategy for systematically searching international refugee and asylum seeker-related grey literature. The approach targets governmental health departments and statistical agencies, who have considerable access to refugee and asylum seeker populations for research purposes but typically do not publish findings in academic forums. Compared to a conventional grey literature search strategy, our novel technique yielded an eightfold increase in relevant high-quality grey sources that provided valuable content in informing our review. Incorporating a search of the grey literature into systematic reviews of refugee and asylum seeker research is essential to providing a more complete view of the evidence. Our novel strategy offers a practical and feasible method of conducting systematic grey literature searches that may be adaptable to a range of research questions, contexts, and resource constraints.

  • (In)validation and (mis)recognition in higher education: the experiences of students from refugee backgrounds

    Type Journal Article
    Author Doireann Mangan
    Author Laura Anne Winter
    Abstract Students from refugee backgrounds face unique challenges within higher education. This article reports analysis from a systematic review of qualitative research which aimed to explore these students’ experiences. Four databases were searched, inclusion/exclusion criteria applied and the remaining studies subjected to a quality assessment, leaving eight studies. The research adopted meta-ethnography as a method of data synthesis. An overarching theme of invalidation was identified within our synthesis of the research literature. We express this as a line-of-argument synthesis comprising seven metaphors, which aim to illustrate the ways in which refugee-background students’ higher education experiences can be understood as (largely) invalidating. Drawing on a range of literature, we argue that despite education’s potential for being an egalitarian, empowering and validating environment, the experiences documented in the research literature are conceptualised as relationally inegalitarian and an instance of ‘misrecognition’ of a group of students. This misrecognition appears to occur within and across the various micro, meso and macro social systems in which the students are situated. The implications of these findings for education are discussed. Key words Refugee Education Higher Education University UK Students

  • Supporting international students in UK higher education institutions

    Type Journal Article
    Author Ian McDonald
    Abstract International students make up an increasingly large proportion of the UK's student population. Whether studying at undergraduate, postgraduate taught or postgraduate research level, they require support just like home students. However, international students can often bring additional issues and complications for the staff who are supporting them. This paper examines the additional complications involved in supporting international students, with a specific focus on cultural issues, and will make recommendations as to how practice can be improved. Key recommendations include the introduction of greater support for staff who teach and support international students and the expansion of orientation programmes for international students to include topics such as current educational culture in the UK.

  • Learning and Refugees: Recognizing the Darker Side of Transformative Learning

    Type Journal Article
    Author Linda Morrice
    Abstract Learning is generally viewed as a positive process bringing benefits to the individual, leading to growth and self-development. But is this always the case? This article draws on empirical research with refugees and considers the processes of transforming experience and learning that accompanies transition to life in the United Kingdom. I will argue for the importance of social context and nonformal learning, and suggest that models and theories based on transformative learning that ignore context provide only a partial and distorted picture of the learning and identity processes at work for this particular group of immigrants. There is a complexity and depth to the learning that they experience, which calls for an enlarged concept of learning and its potential outcomes.

  • Higher Education in National Contexts: Ireland

    Type Journal Article
    Author Munck, R., Barrett, E., Mc Evoy, P., Nakabugo, M G.
    Abstract European engagement with development co-operation in the Global South has many modalities and there is only agreement that we do not have the answers yet. Here we present an Irish case study of inter-university collaboration with a number of Southern partners to build research capacity through partnership. We provide first a critical introduction to the internationalisation debates which frames our presentation of the various aspects of the Irish African Partnership. This is not posed as a model of best practice but simply as one approach which has developed a philosophy through trial and error. This case study is then related to the broader field of European engagements with development co-operation in the field of higher education. We stress two elements: knowledge is global and so also must be the development imperative; our approach to research building also needs to be forward looking (Foresight) and not looking backwards to what might have worked well in the past, usually somewhere else

  • Closing pathways: refugee-background students and tertiary education

    Type Journal Article
    Author Diane O'Rourke
    Abstract Recent changes to policies and funding for tertiary education are exacerbating an already difficult situation for refugees aiming to earn university degrees. No one intended to create the barriers that the refugee-background community faces; government agencies continue attempts to improve educational outcomes for those who arrive as refugees. The root causes of this situation are the complexity of the refugee situation and a lack of holistic knowledge about this diverse group of New Zealand residents among policy makers and educators. In addition, the complexity of interactions among policy changes and refugee situations has prevented any single agency from predicting outcomes of its policies for refugee-background students. In this paper, I discuss how new policies interact with a range of existing barriers faced by refugees pursuing degrees and how, without urgent attention, this will constrict or close pathways into and through university study. I further suggest that the strongest foundation for an effective program to provide equitable access to university education is including refugee-background students among those groups who receive equity consideration.

  • What are the educational needs and experiences of asylum-seeking and refugee children, including those who are unaccompanied, with a particular focus on inclusion? - A literature review

    Author Andrew C. Peterson
    Author Claire Francesca Meehan
    Author Zoebia Ali
    Author Ian Durrant
    Abstract In a context of mass displacement and flows of asylum-seeking and refugee peoples across national borders, the need to respond and attend to the education of asylum-seeking and refugee children is urgent and pressing, though it is not without its challenges. This literature review focuses on the educational experiences of asylum seeking and refugee children, including those who are unaccompanied, with a particular focus on inclusion. It seeks to respond to the following three interconnected questions: 1. What does current educational literature tell us about the educational needs and experiences of asylumseeking and refugee children as they relate to inclusion? 2. What does current educational literature tell us about the educational needs and experiences of unaccompanied asylum-seeking and refugee children as they relate to inclusion? 3. What implications and recommendations can be drawn from existing literature? The review has a particular interest in the needs and experiences of unaccompanied asylum-seeking and refugee children, but recognises that though there is a developing literature specifically on unaccompanied asylum seeking and refugee children (see, for example, Stanley, 2001; Derluyn and Broekaert, 2008; Pastoor, 2015) such needs must be understood and positioned in relation to the wider educational needs and experiences of asylum seeking and refugee children more generally. While other literature reviews on asylum-seeking and refugee children are available (see, for example, Hek, 2005; McBrien, 2005), the present review adds to existing work by: • including an explicit focus on the educational needs and experiences of asylum-seeking and refugee children who are unaccompanied; • providing an up-to-date review of literature which analyses and reports the educational needs and experiences of asylum-seeking and refugee children. The review focuses in particular on post-migration experiences within school settings as they relate to asylum seeking and refugee children’s social inclusion.

  • Refugee Students in Higher Education: A Literature Review: Debate, Discourse and Practice

    Type Journal Article
    Author Georgina Ramsay
    Abstract Empirical interest in exploring the settlement experiences of people from refugee backgrounds has long been an area of research interest and advocacy. In particular, there has been significant growth in research that focuses on students from refugee backgrounds as they navigate the education systems of these settlement contexts, with a particular focus on refugee children and youth in schooling contexts. Less is known about the experiences of students from refugee backgrounds in higher education. This article speaks to this gap in our collective knowledge, offering a meta-scoping study of 46 papers on students from refugee backgrounds in international higher education contexts. A key contribution of this article is its holistic view of higher education- A s it explores higher education in both refugee camp situations in countries of first asylum and countries of settlement- A s well as its attention to the theoretical and methodological frames that have been used to make sense of the experiences of these students. From our reading of the field, we offer an analysis of the gaps in the literature, and propose a research agenda for further advancing both our collective understandings and the possibilities for institutional transformation and advocacy with these students.

    Author Blessinger, P.
    Abstract This volume examines how Governmental agencies, non-profit organizations and educational institutions are mobilizing their resources to promote inclusion of refugees and internally displaced people. It explores the grass root campaigns that are working towards participation and full involvement for disadvantaged groups, and towards equitable distribution of opportunities in both home and host countries. The case studies included emphasize the importance of effective cooperation and coordination across multi-sectoral responses, and the need to take into account the social and economic dimensions of inclusion. Providing educators at all levels with a research and evidence based understanding of the educational opportunities and challenges facing refugees (both children and adults), this important book considers related and overlapping issues such as equality, equity, power, privilege, identity, rights, and pluralism, and addresses the relevant issues at the theory, policy, and practice levels.

  • A Qualitative Exploration of the Tertiary Education Experiences of Refugee and Asylum Seekers in Australia

    Type Journal Article
    Author Mehak Sheikh
    Author Yasin Koc
    Author Joel R. Anderson
    Abstract The world currently has the highest documented level of displaced people in recorded history. This includes a large number of individuals who are spending their youth as asylum seekers or refugees, which often impedes their access to and engagement with educational pursuits. Given that education has been shown to be a fundamental factor to facilitative resettlement and acculturation for newly-arrived refugee families and individuals, continued research attempting to understand the barriers to accessing education is warranted. This study qualitatively examines the educational experiences (with a focus on access to education) of 10 refugee and asylum-seeking students in Australian tertiary education using thematic analysis on semi-structured interview data. Six themes were identified from the interviews as barriers to or facilitators in accessing education. These are: relationships, emotional well-being, logistics, knowledge, instability, and financial hardship. The findings from this study add to a limited empirical knowledge base on this topic, and improve our understanding of the experiences of accessing education for students with refugee backgrounds. This is discussed in relation to its implications for institutes and policy makers. Key words Higher Education Asylum-Seekers Refugees Australia Experience

  • Refugees in Higher Education: Debate, Discourse and Practice

    Type Book
    Author Jacqueline Stevenson
    Author Sally Baker
    Abstract This book examines the key debates relating to the rights, responsibilities, policies and practices of the higher education sector when dealing with students from refugee backgrounds. Exploring the political context of forced migration to countries of settlement, including the impact made by media rhetoric, Refugees in Higher Education identifies how such global issues frame and position the efforts of universities to open access to, and enable the participation of, refugee students. Focusing on the UK and Australia (representing a past colonising and a colonised country) and including a series of individual case studies, it asks challenging questions about the discourses around forced migration, and how these play out for students on a personal level. With unprecedented levels of forced migration, and the growing strength of anti-immigration arguments as more power is conceded to alt-right conservative governments, Refugees in Higher Education is both a timely and much-needed contribution to its field.

  • The aspiration and access to higher education of teenage refugees in the UK

    Type Journal Article
    Author Jacqueline Stevenson
    Author John Willott
    Abstract Refugee1 young people are an educationally diverse group. However, unlike groups such as Gypsy/Roma and Travellers, in the UK they do not attract targeted educational funding. In addition, neither the UK integration or refugee educational strategies nor the Higher Education Funding Council for England's strategic plan refer to higher education as a progression route for young refugees, as distinct from other minority ethnic young people. Our research with young refugees has shown that many have specific issues affecting their educational achievements, including interrupted education, experience of trauma, concerns about status and English language difficulties. Our findings also show that that despite these multiple disadvantages many view higher education as a route out of poverty and discrimination and are highly aspirational and motivated. We argue that homogenizing the support needs of young refugees along with those of other minority ethnic students is both inappropriate and insufficient and the continued failure to focus on them as a specific widening participation group will perpetuate their continued absence from the UK higher education system.

  • Working with Refugees and Asylum Seekers

    Type Book
    Author Woodcock Ross, J.
    Abstract At the time of writing, the ‘migrant crisis’ is high on the policy agenda. Vast numbers of people are fleeing the war-torn countries of Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and certain African nations to seek asylum in Europe. The provision of support to people seeking asylum and those gaining refugee status is now an established area of social work practice, where the role of the state in assessing asylum and the cultural climate within the UK of racist attitudes regarding egalitarian coexistence presents particular communication issues for social workers. In communicating with asylum seekers, social workers need to recognise the pervasiveness of the legal framework within their lives, whereby they live within an atmosphere of fear, anxiety, control and uncertainty caused by the role of the state in assessing their application for asylum (Fell, 2004). Their overriding concern is to prove that their ‘case’ meets the 1957 UN Convention requirements. The psychological distress that asylum seekers experience as a result of their traumatic pre-migrating experiences, such as rape, torture, mourning and bereavement (Parker, 2000; Kohli, 2006), will also affect communication processes. For unaccompanied minors, this psychological distress is particularly severe and often communicated through problematic behaviour. The literature points to a compounding number of stressors experienced by asylum seekers and those granted refugee status: isolation, insecurity, fear and a struggle to cope with unsettlement, often related to the aforementioned asylum process (Daycare Trust, 1995; Rutter, 2003).
