Inclusion of refugees into national systems:
…… gives children sustainable access to certified learning opportunities that increases knowledge, hope and resilience … ensures accountability to affected populations… creates opportunities for social cohesion…. is the only sustainable option: Humanitarian financing for education is inadequate and unpredictable – parallel services are unsustainable in the long term……supports governments to meet their responsibilities and commitments… effectively managed humanitarian/development support, bears potential benefits for development of host country education system
