Inclusion of migrants and refugees in the education system
Internal practice
Duration
Ongoing
Reason it was developed
The main reason is that there was an influx of refugees from Afghanistan in our country and their stay has been extended beyond the expected time. 1100 refugees are still in Albania and a significant part of them are children who need to be integrated in schools.
Activities
Until now, a round table was held between the members of the national council of our union who come from every district of our state. At that meeting was discussed about this situation and what our union can do to facilitate the integration of refugees during their stay in the state ours. From our stay in Shengjin, we had the opportunity to gather information from some refugees stationed there. We also conducted conversations with Afghan and Albanian teachers to get to know their needs for a high-quality education.
Results
The results were expected, all the participants in the meeting were ready to help facilitate their integration, the expectations are that for this period of time that they will stay, all the children will have the opportunity to study and become familiar with Albanian society.
