Although there is no legal restriction on asylum seekers or refugees accessing education in the UK, refugees and people seeking asylum are experiencing shot doors when it comes to education due to a lack of adequate policy in place and confusion over their entitlements. Education is vital to gain confidence, securing employment, and integrating into society. 

In this episode, the EbEs share their experience with barriers they faced accessing education. 

This episode is hosted by Ana Asatiani, EBE Coordinator at Refugee Action; Bsmah Helmy and her son Ali; Elbagir Abubakar, EbE Assistant at Refugee Action and his daughter, Islam Abubakar; and Viktar Danilchyk

Produced and edited by Azadeh Hosseini, the Communication & Engagement officer at Refugee Action
