Abstract: Refugee learners often navigate unpredictable educational journeys. However, their successful integration into national education systems can enhance learning, strengthen social ties, and pave the way for brighter futures. Such integration hinges on comprehensive data for effective planning and progress tracking, but significant data gaps have rendered refugee students largely ‘invisible’ in many national and international statistics. In response to this challenge, UNESCO, in collaboration with UNHCR, has conducted a review of the state of refugee education data in the top 35 low- and middle-income refugee-hosting countries. This study examined 1,109 questionnaires from 621 data collection exercises, exploring the extent to which refugee identification questions were included, as well as questions about educational access, quality, and safety.This joint report identifies significant data gaps and proposes recommendations to enhance the availability and quality of refugee education data. This report aims to inform conversations among global education stakeholders about improving the accuracy and quality of refugee education data to ensure that no learner is left behind.
