Abstract

Right to education of the refugee children’s is one of the basic rights. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, this agency has been working since 1950 for ensuring the rights of the refugees under legal obligations. Eventually, this agency alone could not implement much in the education sector of the refugees as result more than half of the refugee children were out of school and mostly 2% to 3% of the refugee students could hardly reached to the level of higher education. Afterwards, UNHCR introduced the education programs in the beginning of the twentieth century and those programs started working to improve the education system for the refugees. Not only improved but the education programs introduced digitalization and helped the UNHCR to overcome from their various crisis as well. This study tried to analyze the accountability and obligations of UNHCR and the states also tried to identify the difference between the situation of before and after introducing the education programs by UNHCR. This research also tried to highlight that, education programs prioritize in the part of esurient the quality education for refugee students; apart from ensuring the growth of the numbers of refugee students. As education is one of the primary goals of UNHCR to achieve.
