Description
Summary:The relatively recent presence of refugee students in Greek schools is an educational policy challenge called to respect and safeguard human rights and the rights of children in a democratic and receptive social context. In this paper we present research data that allow us to better understand the reception and education conditions of refugee students as perceived by teachers working with them, but also by the students themselves. Positive steps and choices are intertwined with gaps and shortcomings, making this educational landscape a field in which both the essential inclusive approach of the Greek educational system and the professional development of teachers are tested.
