‘I have not lost my dreams’: Refugee education funding cuts threaten millions
UN News - Global perspective Human stories reports: A teenage girl who fled war-torn Sudan for neighbouring Egypt and hopes to pursue a technology degree is an example of why countries must ensure that young refugees can continue to learn. “When we left Sudan, I was worried that my education would stop,” said Jamila Mostafa, 19, one of the estimated 13.1 million refugee children of school age worldwide in 2025. Yet nearly half – 5.8 million – remain out of school as funding cuts threaten to roll back years of progress in educating children and adolescents forced to flee their homelands due to war, conflict, violence or persecution.
