Our Youth Advisory Board's open letter
In a joint letter with UNICEF UK's young advisors, REUK young people advocate education for all.
"It has taken a global crisis for us to understand the pain and difficulty of restricted education – and empathise.
During COVID-19, the education of young people across the UK has been disrupted, restricted or even brought to a painful stop. This has impacted our lives and the nation dramatically and has cast doubt on our next steps, whether that be further education or starting jobs.
"40% of people who have been forcibly displaced from their homes around the world are children.
Ahead of World Refugee Day 2020, members of Unicef UK and Refugee Education UK’s Youth Advisory Boards have authored a joint open letter to the public. The letter calls for kindness and togetherness to realise the right to education for all.
No restrictions on education: this World Refugee Day, be kind.
