Supporting Refugee Learners from Ukraine in Schools in Europe. Eurydice Report
Noorani, Sogol; Antonello, Diana
European Education and Culture Executive Agency, European Commission
The Russian invasion of Ukraine forced many people to flee their homes and search for protection in neighbouring European countries, amongst them a large proportion of children and young people. Education systems in the receiving countries now have a responsibility to provide these children and young people with quality education as well as psychosocial support. This report investigates some of the key policies and measures developed by education authorities across Europe to assist primary and secondary schools in integrating and supporting children and young people arriving from Ukraine. It presents qualitative Eurydice data on national policies and measures in 37 European education systems. The findings show that some children and young people from Ukraine may not yet be enrolled in schools. Most education systems have reacted rapidly with policy initiatives addressing learners' educational needs. The report also presents some examples of policy initiatives promoting the learners' social, emotional and mental well-being. [This is a follow-up to the report, "Integrating Students from Migrant Backgrounds into Schools in Europe: National Policies and Measures. Eurydice Report," see ED593416.]
