Education Responses in Urban Settings in Select Countries

Despite the growth in interest and learning from humanitarian organisations on urban crisis and response, there is still very little related to education. Within Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), relevant program experience has not yet been systematically captured. This desk review collates current practice focused on adapted education response to urban contexts and learning from NRC programming in a number of conflict affected countries. The review focuses on programming approaches and is meant to complement research being carried out by Columbia University’s Teachers College (New York) – a study funded by the US State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (BPRM) – focused on global and national education policies relevant to urban refugees in the global south.
