The education challenges faced by refugee and migrant children and adolescents in the LAC Region have increased by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although most of the schools have already reopened, many refugee and migrant children are still facing multiple obstacles to accessing education services in their host countries, such as lack of spaces or enrollment, lack of documentation, school materials, infrastructure, language issues, lack of financial resources, and among others, poor knowledge of the normative and policies.


Since the beginning of the migration crisis, UNICEF Regional Office has provided LAC Country Offices with technical support to develop and implement context-appropriate strategies to ensure education access and permanence for migrant and refugee children and those in host communities.


How can you make a difference?
