Refugee and asylum-seeking children in the UK are “losing hope for the future” due to a lack of support to progress into higher education, a charity has warned.
Refugee Education UK says students are being faced with language barriers, complex enrolment processes and a lack of awareness among colleges and universities on asylum applications, which have all led to delays in young people continuing with higher education.
The charity has received a significant increase in the number of enquiries made to its education advice service for refugee and asylum-seeking young people over the last few years.
