Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 59
Paragraph
Paragraph text
For many children in displacement situations, exclusion from education can be a long-term problem. Particularly in less developed countries, lack of resources, buildings, teachers and education materials may all create barriers to education. Lack of documentation, including birth certificates, may be a factor in States in which students must demonstrate their citizenship or residence in a region to have access to services. Discrimination may also be a factor, with schools and local authorities being reluctant to accept displaced children from different ethnic, linguistic or religious groups.
