Through the years, the number of people coming from Syria has increased, and now it is the 10th year of crisis, and Turkey is still known as "the country hosting the largest number of refugees in the world." The crucial point about this statistic is the striking fact that almost 50% of them are children, and almost 40% of them are out of school. Turkey expanded the national Conditional Cash Transfer for Education Programme to increase the schooling among refugee children, considering the economic vulnerability of the refugee families, predominantly Syrians, for refugee children with the EU's financial support. I found the opportunity to involve in the project for almost four years in different roles. Although the project evaluation reports and case studies indicate the positive effect of CCTE on refugee children's education, I always believe there is a need to study this issue from an academic perspective in order to reveal the gaps and needs in regard to refugee education. In line with that, in this study, apart from the literature, I have interviewed the experts who are part of the key actors and the practitioner for the programme. In this context, this study aims to investigate the issue of refugee children's education in Turkey from the bottom with the case of the Conditional Cash Transfer for Education for Refugees project to the top with the social policy recommendations for the education of refugee children.

Intergenerational solidarity networks of instrumental and cultural transfers within migrant families in Turkey Kalaycioglu, S; Rittersberger, Helga İda (2000-09-01) Over the last fifty years, the pattern of family life in Turkey has been seriously affected by migration. Despite this, there remains a high degree of solidarity typified by transfers of income, material goods and cultural mores between and within family generations. This article is based on the life histories of fifteen migrant families living in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. In-depth interviews were used to collect information about at least three generations in each family. Information was collecte...
THE DISCOURSES OF POLITICAL LEADERS TOWARDS SYRIAN REFUGEES IN LEBANON AND IMPLICATIONS FOR DOMESTIC POLITICS Dal, Derya; Benli Altunışık, Meliha; Department of Middle East Studies (2022-2-10) A tragic result of the prolonged conflict in Syria has been the refugee crisis that affected the international community in general, and the countries sharing borders with Syria in particular. Lebanon, a neighboring state to Syria, with a small territory and complex political system, has hosted the highest number of Syrian refugees per capita. Maintaining a fragile economic, social and political structure, Lebanon is greatly impacted by the arrival of a substantial number of refugees. Consequently, the refu...
The EuroMed Youth Programme and Arab Mediterranean youth: a realist vision Göksel, Asuman; Şenyuva, Özgehan (2018-04-01) The EU's EuroMed Youth Programme has for a long time been the only one exclusively aimed at young people in Arab Mediterranean countries. Using a policy evaluation framework, this article argues that this programme is a direct reflection of the EU policy for the Mediterranean, which is more focused on a diagnosis based on the contextualisation of the problem than on the social reality and the needs and expectations of the region's young people. Although it has been beneficial for the few young people who ha...
The Impact of GCR on Local Governments and Syrian Refugees in Turkey Kale Lack, Başak (Wiley, 2019-12-01) In the last couple of years, more than 3.6 million Syrian refugees have been hosted under the "temporary protection" scheme in Turkey. Despite these high numbers Turkey did not have a centralized refugee settlement and integration policy. As a result, various stakeholders including local governments have played critical roles in providing refugee assistance services. This research looks at the role of local governments in delivering services evolving from emergency response to local integration. This articl...
Shelter from the storm: health service access and utilization among Syrian refugees in Turkey Özen, İlhan Can; Tuncay Alpanda, Berna; Bump, Jesse (2022-03-01) Aim Since 2011, the confict in Syria has led to the migration of 5.6 million refugees, mainly to neighbouring countries. By the start of 2019, over 3.5 million people had moved to Turkey to seek safety, meaning that Turkey is hosting the majority of these refugees. Most of them are today settled in urban and peri-urban locations. A large part of the health services of these populations had been cut before their move, leaving a signifcant population that had been unprotected and under-provided for. The T...
