Participating in further education helps refugee students develop, succeed and contribute to the community. Many schools and colleges are ensuring refugee students achieve their full potential in a variety of ways.
In building on the knowledge and skills refugee students bring, schools and colleges enable them to experience success and establish a sense of belonging to their learning community. This assists their integration.
Through a commitment to meeting the needs of all students schools and colleges act to ensure that all groups of young people achieve, including refugees.
By supporting language and learning, schools and colleges are ensuring refugee students learn to communicate effectively in English, and acquire the skills and qualifications they need to gain employment or to access higher education.
Attending further education, making friends and feeling a sense of belonging all help to support refugee students’ positive coping and resilience after their difficult experiences. Schools and colleges are promoting emotional well-being through curriculum activities, projects and pastoral care.
