Pleased to share that we featured in a recent @USAID article, published in June, that highlights the urgent need for tailored support to help refugee youth access higher education. "Refugee youth require specific Guidance to access higher education opportunities." - Ben Webster, Mosaik Education? Our student-led Guidance Programme workings alongside young refugees, supporting them to make progress on their educational journey. Tapping into the power of peer support, refugees participate in workshops facilitated by Mosaik Alumni - graduates who’ve been through the programme and have faced similar challenges. This unique approach allows them to share experiences, resources, and strategies for success.? “Mosaik Education provides guidance services in Jordan, Lebanon, Uganda, and Egypt using a student-led model that helps refugees navigate the range of online courses and scholarship opportunities. This approach emphasises the important role that higher education institutions play in recruiting and integrating refugees on campus. It ensures that scholarship programs are both accessible and effective for refugee students.” Explore the full @USAID article to learn more about the challenges and opportunities involved in expanding higher education access for refugee youth: https://buff.ly/3SQRVyO #Leadership #MosaikAlumni #MosaikEducation #RightToEducation #EducationForAll #HigherEducation #Education #Learning #DisplacedPersons #RefugeeForum #RefugeeEducation

Ethiopia has announced a scholarship program for Sudanese students in Somalia, reflecting its long-standing commitment to educational support in the region. This initiative underscores Ethiopia's role in fostering educational opportunities for refugees and students from neighboring countries. The scholarship program is part of Ethiopia's broader efforts to support education in emergency contexts, particularly for refugees and displaced individuals. Ethiopia has a significant history of providing educational services to refugees, hosting over 800,000 refugees from South Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia, and Sudan. This scholarship offer aligns with Ethiopia's existing educational support initiatives, such as the integration of refugee children into national primary and secondary schools, and the provision of in-service training for refugee teachers6. The country's commitment to inclusive education is further demonstrated by its partnership with the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) to strengthen capacities and resourcing for inclusive education in refugee-hosting areas. https://lnkd.in/dfuXEk9R #EthiopiaScholarships #EducationInEmergencies #RefugeeSupport #AfricanEducation #GlobalPartnershipForEducation

We believe access to education is a fundamental human right. But when does access to higher education become a priority during a humanitarian crisis? This is a question we get asked a lot, ‘humanitarian work’ often focuses on basic needs, shelter, food, water. However, from our experience, and from perspectives of our students, getting back to studying is a priority earlier than you might think. Our Guidance Programme provides essential support, including scholarship information and career advice, guiding young refugees on their journey to achieving their educational aspirations. And are adapting it so it can be deployed in different contexts - including humanitarian crises. Crucially, our programme guides, mentors and facilitators are all alumni of Mosaik who were once refugees themselves – who better to understand the challenges faced by refugee students than someone with firsthand experience who’s been there?
