The Educational Challenge: Identifying Barriers and Seizing Opportunities in Higher Education for Syrian Refugees in Jordan. Policy Recommendations and Future Strategies
This study aimed to explore the main issues faced by Syrian students in accessing higher education in Jordan. It highlights the issues,obstacles,and major difficulties facing them during their education track and the extent to which these students adapt to their new environment. As well as social adaptation in Jordanian universities.
In this study,the Center for Strategic Studies used quantitative and qualitative research methodology. The quantitative approach is composed of field survey of a sample of 1,675 Syrian students in 18 Jordanian public and private universities,which accounted for more than 1% of the Syrian students population in Jordanian universities. The qualitative approach included seven focus groups—mostly Syrian students—and also included individuals and institutes related to higher education and educational policies. In addition to a number of in-depth interviews. In the end,we hope that the outcomes of this study and the policy recommendations will get the attention it deserves by all the stakeholders.
