ACCESS TO EDUCATION FOR MIGRANT AND DISPLACED STUDENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: CHALLENGES AND GOOD PRACTICES FOR REDUCING INEQUALITY

ABSTRACT

The worldwide closure of schools due to COVID-19 might have deeply affected migrant and refugee children and adolescents, who were already socio-economically disadvantaged. In Latin America, the most unequal region, which is currently experiencing the second largest
migration crisis in the world, there are successful policies, mainly from Colombia, that eliminate the bureaucratic, legal and cultural barriers that migrant and refugee children and adolescents encounter in accessing education during the pandemic. A remaining challenge regards data collection to systematically monitor and diagnose the situation of this population, to design evidence-based programmes and supports.
