The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 39
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Some replies to the questionnaire indicated that there is a lack of information and awareness among migrant, refugee and asylum-seeker populations about their rights, specifically those that safeguard their right to education. Implicit in this is what it means to make informed school and educational decisions. It is essential, therefore, to provide information and logistical support to migrant, refugee and asylum-seeking populations to strengthen their capacity in this regard. Activities might include, for example, home visits to low-income and migrant, refugee and asylum-seeking families, “education booths” in shopping malls, information fairs and hotlines in relevant migrant languages.
