Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 60
- Paragraph text
- Education also provides routine, normality, a protective function, support and information and can be an important step towards community integration in displacement locations. For IDPs, education may be a low priority in the face of survival needs. Children may contribute economically to displaced communities, which can be another barrier to their schooling. Internally displaced parents may exclude children from school in the belief that they will quickly return to their original homes, only for their displacement to become protracted. Parents may also hesitate to send their children to school in conflict zones which may be targeted for forced recruitment of children.
