Target Audience: The major academic audience for this book is professional historians and social scientists interested in refugee education in South Asia. This book will also be useful for undergraduate and graduate students in the arts, humanities, social sciences and education research. This book will also be significant for donors, government officials, think tanks and policy makers in framing education policy for refugees.

Description:
This edited book entitled Refugee Education in South Asia: Policies, Practices, and Implications aims to understand the policies, practices, and limitations of refugee education in four South Asian countries: Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. Evidence presents that refugee education in three countries including Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan is being viewed as a relief activity and education for Bhutanese refugees in Nepal is being observed as a development activity. This book suggests that refugee education in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan should be provided from a development view by which refugee children and youth can live with honor and dignity if they get an opportunity to be integrated into host countries, resettled in third countries, or repatriated in their home countries.
