Each One Take One
Universities have a unique, urgent responsibility in educating the next generation and building societies capable of responding to global crises and contributing to sustainable development goals. Achieving the 15 by 30 target (enrolling 15% of refugees in higher education by 2030) requires greater collaboration between UNHCR and universities, particularly in the largest refugee-hosting countries.
EOTO aims to encourage partnerships that can support increased enrolment of refugees in refugee-hosting countries. This means building on existing university partnerships, extending them to refugee and forced migration issues, and generating new scholarships for refugees to attend university where they are located.
