Education and Integration in Countries with Syrian Children: Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Germany and Turkey

Today, the number of people fleeing conflicts, wars, human rights violations and difficult living conditions in their countries and seeking refuge in other countries is rapidly increasing all over the world. We witness the migration movements of people fleeing from countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, and Eritrea and pursuing their right to live elsewhere. This necessitates the countries hosting refugees to adopt an integration approach towards the refugee population. This research aims to describe integration in refugee education, the inclusive education approach and the education policies and practices of the countries that host the highest number of refugees after the Syrian migration. Research data were collected through document analysis, one of the qualitative research techniques, and analyzed with descriptive analysis method. It is clear from the findings of the research that in countries where Syrians are concentrated, a truly holistic approach model is not applied in the education of refugee children and therefore presents serious problems in refugee education. As a result of the research, it is proposed to carry out studies that will describe the problems experienced in refugee education, solution proposals and educational practices of host states.
