Teacher Management in Refugee Settings: Public Schools in Jordan
Bengtsson, Stephanie; Fitzpatrick, Rachael; Thibault, Claire; West, Helen
UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning
Jordan has a longstanding history of providing the refugees it hosts with protection and essential support, including education. Today, the country is home to the tenth-largest population of Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)-registered refugees in the world, hosting around 750,000 refugees originating from Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Sudan as well as a further half million unregistered Syrians. In addition, Jordan hosts 2.2 million Palestine refugees under the mandate of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), most of whom have Jordanian citizenship. Ongoing conflicts, political unrest, droughts and famines in the region have meant that the influx of refugees into the country continues. Using a collaborative, two-phased, mixed-methods approach, the research examines how teachers are managed in policy and practice, focusing on schools catering to Syrian refugees outside refugee camps in Jordan. The case study identifies promising policies and practices and gaps in policy and practice in order to reveal potential areas for further development and successful implementation of policies to support effective teacher management in refugee settings.
