Activity: Consultancy typesConsultancy

Description

This research is being undertaken by researchers at the University of Edinburgh on behalf of the Connected Learning in Crisis Consortium (CLCC), which aims to promote, coordinate, collaborate and/or support the provision of quality higher education in contexts of conflict, crisis and displacement through connected learning.

Since the establishment of the global target to achieve enrolment of 15 per cent of young refugee women and men in higher education by 2030, the CLCC has been working within this target to ensure that more refugees will be enrolled in university. As a part of this process UNHCR has identified 12 model countries to illustrate and guide strategic engagement across the five pillars of the 15by30 roadmap, which are: Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), Connected Higher Education, enrolment in national higher education institutions, the DAFI scholarship programme and complementary education pathways.

This project is intended to understand from a programmatic and political economy perspective what are some of the outcomes of these programmes across three of the pillars, namely: connected higher education, enrolment in national higher education institutions, and technical and vocational education and training.
