Additional note
The Borderless Higher Education for Refugees (BHER) Project aims to make educational programs available where refugees need them. At the end of 2017, the global refugee population, including 5.4 million Palestine refugees under UNRWA’s mandate, was 25.4 million – the highest known total to date. Many are caught in refugee situations, often for ten years or more as an outcome of war, human rights violations, and/or persecution in their home countries. Attending university or accessing other tertiary degree programs has been almost impossible. Young women face additional barriers to pursuing an education. To redress this situation our aim is to provide gender equitable teacher training programs to working, untrained teachers who can then contribute back to the community, increasing and improving education in the camps overall.
