Migrant children can find it difficult to maintain their access to formal education. For many, education is interrupted for several years at a time. For others, education can be a reason for migration, or an opportunity in the host country. In Greece, those who are seeking asylum or are refugees have a right to the country’s state education but a little less than half of refugee children are not yet signed up to formal education.
The UNHCR and the UN children's emergency fund UNICEF have been working closely with the Greek government for the last few years to improve the access to education for refugee and asylum seeking children in Greece. And the numbers are improving, explains Cheshirkov.
