“…Germany launched an education initiative in 2017 to integrate around 2400 refugees into German universities yearly and allocated a four‐year budget of $110 million to support refugees to access higher education between 2015 and 2019. German research institutions also support the initiatives by offering internship positions, research assistant positions, and other training opportunities (Al‐Mabuk & Alrebh, 2018).…”

This study seeks answers to the question: ‘Under what conditions do communities with migration experience in refugee‐receiving states become more open toward accepting more refugees and why?’. The research seeks answers to this question by examining the attitudes of individuals (N = 37) from Turkey who have been living in Germany for at least a year and who have sufficient familiarity with the characteristics of governance of mass migration in both countries. The findings suggest that the respondents are more pessimistic about the consequences of Turkey accepting more refugees in the future, while they are optimistic about the outcomes of the arrival of more refugees in Germany. This study posits that receiving communities' perceptions about the host state's regulatory and institutional capacity in managing mass migration and integration of refugees shape their attitudes toward the possibility of the influx of more refugees over time. The findings indicate that efficient mass migration governance in a receiving state is identified through four characteristics: (i) admission of educated refugees, (ii) proper refugee registration procedures, (iii) systematic integration processes, and (iv) effective monitoring and law enforcement mechanisms. The study concludes that local communities view public authorities as the key actors in managing the consequences of mass migration and establishing and sustaining good mass migration governance at the receiving state level is likely to facilitate positive attitudes towards accepting more refugees.

“…The US also hosted many other African refugees who escaped persecution based on personal or group characteristics, such as ethnicity, religion or armed conflict, and lack of durable solutions, especially those from Burundi (Ndura, 2004). Hundreds of thousands of refugees and asylum seekers from different parts of the world have also fled into Germany in the past few years, especially from Syria (Al-Mabuk and Alrebh, 2018). Accordingly, it becomes crucial for all host nations to address the issue of refugee education, especially between youngsters (Nordegren, 2017).…”

“…Education is also a tool for personal development and represents an opportunity to improve living standards (Berger et al, 2019). A number of researchers identified education crises as part of the wider spectrum of crises facing refugees (Al-Mabuk and Alrebh, 2018;Skjerven and Chao, 2018;Bunn, 2018).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to aim at: (1) investigating the vulnerabilities/obstacles that hinder refugees in hosting countries from obtaining quality and adequate education and (2) proposing a Framework for Action to transform these vulnerabilities into capacities.Design/methodology/approachVulnerability and Capacity Assessment (VCA) was used for the purpose of this research. A survey strategy was adopted and data were collected using semi-structured interviews with refugee families. One hundred and twenty families were interviewed.FindingsThe study identified a number of vulnerabilities; including mainly unavailability of educational facilities; quality of the available education; social challenges and psychological needs. The findings revealed that there was a lack of comprehensive and strategic frameworks for mitigating refugee educational crises.Practical implicationsThe lack of adequate and quality education for refugees in host countries is likely to increase illiteracy levels and subsequently trigger humanitarian and natural disasters on the long run. This research emphasizes the importance of developing comprehensive frameworks for quality and adequate refugee education.Originality/valueTo the author's knowledge, and after an extensive review of the existing literature, this is the first study to employ VCA to investigate the extent of the current refugee educational crisis in Jordan. VCA is more commonly used in the context of natural and environmental disasters threatening societies. Relevant authorities need to be aware of the significance of refugee education at individual, communal and national levels, as well as the significance of education to refugee well-being.
