 UNHCR’s mandate is to provide protection and to find solutions for refugees, asylum seekers, stateless persons and other persons of concern.In support of this, UNHCR considers it a priority to promote and support access to education for refugees within national education systems and programmes at all levels, including higher education.One of the key objectives of UNHCR’s strategy is to “improve access to higher education opportunities for young people” by increasing access to higher education programmes at colleges, universities, and post-secondary technical, vocational and para-professional institutions, leading to certificates and diplomas.
