What is refugee education? Why is volunteering important in Australia? Many refugees and people seeking asylum already have overseas qualifications or skills. The term ‘unsettling times’ is used here to refer to the state of heightened consciousness on the part.
I got friends from everywhere including Australian, Chinese (from mainland and others), Malaysian, Singaporean etc.
Intensive English programs English as an Additional Language teaching. Ensuring that refugee children receive their right to education is an obvious entry point. Currently Australian schools are poorly funded and ill‐equipped to provide effective English as a Second Language teaching and support. A new cohort of refugee students mainly from Africa and the Middle East are struggling.
Schools play a key role in supporting students from refugee backgrounds, particularly during the first few years of their settlement in Australia. Australia runs one of the largest migration programs in the OECD. Students from refugee backgrounds are a diverse cohort.
Some students may have had extensive schooling, while others may have had highly disrupted or minimal access to formal schooling.
