Summary/Abstract: Crisis-driven demographic changes have presented new challenges to educate both refugees and nationals in the MENA region. In particular, Syria’s eight-year war has displaced or made refugees of almost half of its 22 million pre-war population. Approximately 5.65 million Syrians are now in neighbouring countries of Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Egypt (3RP, 2017). Nearly two million are school-age children and youth. However, this does not include thousands of young Syrian adults through age 30 who may also need formal and/or TVET education (UNICEF, 2018).
