The international community needs new solutions to support the education of
a generation of displaced children and youth

The war on Ukraine is a stark reminder to the Western world that
displacement is not the exclusive fate of people from the Global South. The
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimates that up to
4 million Ukrainians, mostly women and children, could end up being
refugees in neighboring European countries. For now, Ukrainian refugees are
being welcomed and provided voluntary humanitarian assistance. Only time
will tell how long they will remain in the countries where they fled, but
the sad reality is that many will stay for a long time, as the average
refugee is displaced for
20 years. In the weeks ahead, it will be imperative to provide Ukrainian
children and youth with access to education as quickly and seamlessly as
possible. Inside Ukraine, UNICEF estimates almost
350,000 children are without access to schools.
