JRS videos on education Jesuit Refugee Service considers access
to education a human right and a means to building peace and
development. Education plays a prominent role among the services
JRS offers to refugees and other displaced persons. Worldwide
the organisation provides pre-, primary, secondary and third
level education to approximately 285,000 young people. As well
as renovating and rebuilding schools, JRS trains teachers and
distributes educational materials. Based on this experience of
the needs of refugees, JRS also advocates on behalf of displaced
children to ensure they are provided with an adequate education.
