How Refugees are Reconnecting to Education
A Refugee Week Event organised by ReConnect in partnership with UCL Instituted of Education to support Refugees into Higher Education and Teaching, was held on Wednesday 19 June 2019, 5.00 – 8.00pm at Jeffrey Hall, UCL Institute of Education (IOE), 20 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0AL. It was an inspiring event attended by about 150 participants.
Since 2014, the IOE has ranked #1 in the world for Education in the QS World University Rankings by Subject.
Many highly qualified refugees in the United Kingdom face barriers when it comes to participating in Higher Education and the workforce.
The IOE is supporting ReConnect, a charity helping refugees contribute their skills through their Reconnect to Education: Preparation for Higher Education programme by helping them become familiar with the British educational system.
