Six million refugee children are unable to go to school around the world, with serious repercussions for themselves, their families and their communities.
At the UN General Assembly’s SDG Media Zone, UN Goodwill Ambassador Mary Maker and UN refugee agency (UNHCR) chief Barham Salih – both of whom grew up in refugee camps – discussed the barriers refugee children face in accessing education and what organisations like the UN can do to help remove them.
Drawing on personal experience and professional insights, they spoke with Arab News UN correspondent Ephrem Kossaify.
