Download or read book Inclusion Through Access to Higher Education written by Marie-Agnès Détourbe and published by Brill. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key feature of the 21st century is undoubtedly the increased flow of goods, ideas and people across geographical, cultural and political boundaries which has led to new dynamics and ever more complex forms of interconnectedness. In this context, the inclusion of people on the move through education is a central issue which this book addresses in an original way: it combines three extensively, yet often separately studied themes - namely access to higher education, immigration and languages. Written by both established and new researchers, the studies which make up this interdisciplinary volume shed light on the complex political, social, and cultural dynamics at play between the three dimensions in different settings. Drawing on the specific stakes related to higher education, the tensions between barriers and opportunities for (future) students such as immigration regulations, language policies and internationalization strategies are analysed and confronted with less visible yet powerful logics such as personal and professional aspirations, cultural identities or family priorities. Decades after many national higher education systems strove to widen access internally to under-represented groups, this book offers new international comparative insights on the way higher education can meet external demands from people experiencing chosen or unchosen displacement, while taking hold of the specific challenges raised by their linguistic and cultural diversity.

Download or read book Global Perspectives on the Difficulties and Opportunities Faced by Migrant and Refugee Students in Higher Education written by Saeed, Sameerah Tawfeeq and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education has been a source of opportunity and achievement for migrants and refugees around the world. It has provided them with the tools and knowledge to pursue careers and build lives in their new communities, but it has also made them targets for discrimination. Colleges and universities are often ill-equipped to address the unique educational needs of their diverse student populations, and many times, the very institution that was meant to be a safe haven for them becomes their greatest barrier to success. Today, we are witnessing a crisis of higher education for migrants and refugees. Global Perspectives on the Difficulties and Opportunities Faced by Migrant and Refugee Students in Higher Education focuses on the formal and informal educational opportunities that are available to migrant students, as well as the barriers that prevent them from fully accessing these opportunities. The book also discusses how the experiences of migrant and refugee students in higher education have evolved and the impact that this evolution has had on their educational experiences. Finally, the book considers the ways in which higher education institutions have responded to the educational needs of migrant and refugee students and the role that the education industry has played in this response both formally and informally. Covering key topics such as immigration, educational needs, and displaced students, this premier reference source is ideal for administrators, policymakers, scholars, researchers, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
