Synopsis

This study addresses a gap in the literature on the role and status of teachers in emergencies. Through field research from Kenya, South Africa and Uganda, it identifies issues facing refugee teachers and makes recommendations on how policy can address their needs, and thus improve access to education to populations affected by an emergency.

Review

"[A] welcome introduction to the necessary debate about refugee teachers, whose knowledge, skills and dispositions impact and shape educational achievement of students....The book is certainly a major contribution to this emerging field of study and highly recommended."
