Amid global conflicts and displacement, the educational needs of refugees have become increasingly pressing. Refugee Education and Employment is a timely and essential contribution to the ongoing discourse on drivers of refugee integration. Focusing on refugees’ educational and employment opportunities, each chapter explores factors that mediate the conversion of resources into valued achievements. A further contribution is the development of capability for integration, a conceptual framework for assessing the opportunities and outcomes that shape refugee integration in resettlement settings.

Covering two key themes of educational and employment opportunities for refugees and conversion factors that mediate their ability to benefit from such opportunities, Tebeje Molla explores the educational and employment landscape available to refugees, examining equity and resettlement policy provisions and analysing the complex interplay of factors that either facilitate or hinder their ability to translate integration opportunities into meaningful outcomes.

By examining the role of equity provisions in widening access to education and the nuanced impacts of racial othering on young people’s ability to benefit from such policies, Refugee Education and Employment contributes to a deeper understanding of how systemic inequities and social barriers affect refugee integration outcomes. Molla provides new insights into fostering inclusive educational environments that respect and support the diversity of refugee experiences, aiming to improve educational outcomes and promote social justice.
