Description
Book SynopsisThis edited volume aims to understand the policies, practices and limitations of refugee education in four South Asian countries: Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan. Evidence suggests that refugee education in three countries including Bangladesh, India and Pakistan is being viewed as a relief activity, whereas education for Bhutanese refugees in Nepal is being observed as a development activity. This book suggests that refugee education in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan should be provided from a development point of view whereby refugee children can live with honor and dignity if they have an opportunity to be integrated in host countries, resettled in third countries or repatriated in their home countries.
