Refugees experience additional problems in accessing primary education, such as the recognition of certification of previous studies, different languages of instruction and curricula, family economic issues and problems created by escalating conflicts.UNA-USA and UNHCR are working to prevent a lost generation by educating refugee children in camps and other settings around the world, but they need our help.For more information on Adopt-A-Future, visit: ww.adopt-a-future00REFUGEE CRISIS OVERVIEW70.8 million people across the globe have been forcibly displaced due to war and persecution. 25.9 million of those displaced are refugees who were forced to leave their own country and more than half of them are children.Only 61% of refugee children are in primary education, compared to a world average of 91%.
