Keynote session
Keeping tertiary education functioning and improving in conflict-affected areas: resilience and development
Higher education is a fundamental right that should be accessible to everyone, including refugees and forcibly displaced people. This contribution will present some current higher education policies to address their needs in destination and transit countries, as well as the critical role of quality assurance in this domain. It will also emphasize the views and concerns of UNESCO and the instruments that it is currently unfolding.
