With support from the U.S. Department of State: Bureau of Population, Refugees,... , #UNICEFBelize is funding community-based educational hubs for children in the early years (ages 3 – 5) living in #migrantcommunities. ??This important collaboration with the Ministry of Human Development, Families and Indigenous... through the Roving Caregivers Programs, will provide alternative informal models for #EarlyChildhoodEducation and #development in communities where there are no preschools. ????Every child has a right to an #education regardless of their status. Consequently, this support will strengthen #earlystimulation for #children and increase their #schoolreadiness to enter #primaryschool.

How can we ensure that refugee and #immigrant families have better access to early childhood services? Recent research from the Urban Institute and SwitchboardA highlights the importance of policies that offer free, culturally responsive child care and early #education, which have been shown to significantly increase enrollment. Other effective strategies include community outreach, culturally and linguistically matched staff, and providing services in accessible locations—all of which help bridge gaps for these families. Learn more about the practices, policies, and interventions that can make a difference in the lives of refugee and immigrant families with young children. #earlychildhoodeducation #childdevelopment https://lnkd.in/gPu9fAUi

In an outer suburb of Melbourne, a group of mums and young children gather in a community centre to play games, draw and paint, sing and dance. It could be any playgroup anywhere in Australia… but this isn’t just any playgroup. This is an ? It Takes a Village ? playgroup. It Takes a Village is 54 reasons’ specialist program for children and families from migrant and refugee backgrounds. And this #WorldRefugeeDay and #RefugeeWeek, we want to share why it’s so special. It takes an incredible amount of courage to leave your home because of conflict, disaster or persecution, and deep resilience to rebuild a new life somewhere new. Refugee families face so many challenges when settling in their new countries, from learning new languages to navigating new government systems – creating space to relax and play can feel impossible. That’s why It Takes a Village exists. Around the country, we run weekly sessions for families to learn and connect through play. Early childhood educators—many with refugee backgrounds themselves—offer advice and support for caregivers, referrals to community services, and connections to other families. It Takes a Village plays a big role in helping children feel more comfortable socially, and more confident transitioning to school. And caregivers tell us that being part of the program has improved their mental health and wellbeing and helped them create a positive environment for their families. ?? Programs like It Takes a Village are a fun and welcoming way Australia can uphold children’s rights to assistance as refugees, their rights to quality education, and their rights to play. All of which help those children and their families thrive in their new home country. ??

This #ImmigrantHeritageMonth, let's talk Educational Rights of immigrant and migrant children and youth. Regardless of immigration status, children and youth living in the United States have the right to attend and participate fully in public schools. For all McKinney-Vento eligible students, schools must address barriers to full participation in school activities, including lack of documentation. Here are some key takeaways on this topic. ??

One way to make education more accessible for refugees and asylum seekers could be through an induction day at educational institutions, such as universities. This day could allow them to explore the campus, attend informational sessions on how to apply to university, and gain insights into the pathways to higher education. They could also meet staff members, connect with current students, and experience the university environment in a way that helps them envision themselves attending. The Widening Participation team at the University of Warwick and Warwick Student Action for Refugees excels in initiatives like these, and it would be fantastic to see similar programs implemented at more universities.
