Özet

Improving access to education for refugee students in Türkiye is a critical global leadership challenge. This chapter reviews the major barriers refugee students experience in accessing education, including language barriers, segregation from the society, aggressive behaviors, and cultural incompatibility, students’ unfamiliarity of the Turkish curriculum, and a lack of inclusive care within the education system. The chapter presents leadership strategies to overcome these problems, such as regional planning for language support, post-traumatic psychological support, and cultural adaptation activities for social acceptance, and needs analysis.
