Education is a fundamental human right for all children and youth. A quality education provides children and young people with the skills and confidence they need to allow them to live lives that they have reason to value. Education creates the voice through which other rights can be claimed and protected.

Displacement has a devastating impact on learning, and often leads to an education being denied or interrupted. Children and youth may suffer from traumatic experiences and a loss of the social networks that provide protection and support.

The capacity of education systems to deliver quality education is often significantly reduced during displacement and host communities often struggle to integrate displaced children in existing educational facilities and systems
