Abstract

The Syrian migration is the biggest movement of people since the Second World War. The vast majority of Syrian refugees are residing in Turkey. There are more than 3,6 Syrian refugees in Turkey, and over 1,1 million of the population are school-aged refugee children. According to UNICEF, as of January 2019, there are 645,000 children enrolled in Turkish public schools and around 400,000 children are not attending school. This paper explores the impact of Turkey’s integration policy on Syrian children’s access to education. The data consists of 50 semi-structured in-depth interviews with Syrian refugees in Istanbul and Gaziantep. The paper also offers policy recommendations for the integration of refugee children into education by explaining the social, political and economic factors affecting the integration processes of Syrian refugees and their children’s access to education. I argue that Syrian refugees’ limited access to fundamental rights negatively affect their children’s access to education.

UNICEF ‘in verilerine göre Ocak 2019 itibarıyla Türkiye’deki devlet okullarınakayıtlı olan 645 bin çocuğa karşı, yaklaşık 400 bin çocuk eğitime erişememektedir. Bumakalede, Türkiye’deki Suriyeli mültecilerin entegrasyon süreçlerinin, çocuklarının eğitimeerişimine etkisi açıklanmıştır. İstanbul ve Gaziantep’de toplam 50 Suriyeli mülteci ile yüz yüzederinlemesine yapılan görüşmeler sonucunda elde edilen veriler çerçevesinde bu makaledeTürkiye’nin Suriyeli mültecilere yönelik entegrasyon politikasının Suriyeli çocukların eğitimeerişimleri üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmış ve literatür kapsamında tartışılmıştır.

Bu makalede, Suriyeli mültecilerintemel haklara erişimde yaşadıkları sıkıntıların çocuklarının eğitime erişimini olumsuz yöndeetkilediği savunulmuştur.
