Refugee Education in Canada is a timely exploration of the politics of belonging, complexities, challenges and successes that contextualize refugee education in publicly funded K-12 education.
This Canadian perspective explores the convergences and divergences of refugee education policies, practices, discourses, and narratives informing supporting refugee child and youth integration into education by offering insights to how these various factors shape refugee access to education. Drawing on the perspectives of diverse voices advocating for refugee educational structures that are antiracist, culturally responsive, trauma-informed and grounded in the lived experiences of refugee students, parents and communities, this volume provides recommendations for shifts in policy and practice for teacher candidates, in-service teachers, social workers, settlement workers, administrators, and provincial and territorial policymakers.
Refugee Education in Canada is a much-needed project to ensure that faculties of education, school boards and policy making bodies are responsive to the unique needs of refugee students as Canadian schools support significant refugee student populations, particularly in urban areas.
