Inequities of Asylum Seekers

Abstract

Over the last decade, Lebanon and surrounding countries have witnessed the influx of Syrian refugees fleeing from the war in their country. Since the start of the war in 2013, and up until recent years, these host countries are still dealing with a great number of Syrian refugees entering and leaving, making the ongoing situation difficult on both the countries hosting as well as the refugees. Help was provided from international communities such as the UN and European Union, due to the limited financial resources of the host countries, specifically countries like Lebanon. The help provided was to be used to support both Lebanese nationals and Syrian refugees. One of the major issues that international communities are tackling, is the education of refugee children outside of their country. This paper will include a research plan, literature reviews of different articles, the documentation of the different data found using qualitative data, and a final discussion on our research and findings regarding the Syrian refugees’ educational experience in Lebanon.
