The educational needs of refugees in a multicultural world: An innovative solution to the problem

Keywords: Refugees, Educational needs, Multiculturalism, Innovative education model for refugees

Abstract

In the last few decades, forced migration movements increased and caused a number of people to leave their countries and homes. In this context, especially existence and quality of food, health and educational services have great importance. Refugee children do not only need to have an access to humanitarian needs but also education. Even though it may be hard for the host countries to make a new system or have the refugees adapt to the established system, getting this responsibility is crucial in context of human rights. Education system of Turkey should be arranged according to the refugees and respect their identities. In this paper, a multicultural model proposal is presented to establish a better education life for Syrian refugees in Turkey
