DISPLACMENT: Learning in displacement - Briefing paper on the right to education of internally displaced people

Summary: Displacement lasts 20 years on average. This means displaced children's education cannot wait until solutions are found. All people have the right to education, including IDPs in emergency settings, in protracted displacement, or in the course of finding durable solutions.
This paper introduces a series of case studies looking at education for IDPs. It examines the international human rights legal framework for guaranteeing education to IDPs, focusing on issues such as non-discrimination and documentation that are particularly likely to arise in this context.
