Asylum seekers\u2019 higher education intentions have been boosted by Australia\u2019s <\/b>refugee policy<\/b><\/a> based on its two-track education structure.\u00a0<\/b>

\nNevertheless, asylum seeker\u2019s higher education prospects for those considered illegal entrants are jeopardized as they can only have temporary visas. <\/span>It, therefore, means that their quest for a university degree has to be fully paid.

Asylum seekers\u2019 higher education hindrances<\/b><\/h2>\n

Some of the policies put in place have hindered asylum seekers\u2019 higher education. For instance, the political narrative that depicts boat arrivals as illegal has jeopardized fairness in the higher education sector.\u00a0<\/b>
\nIt has been stipulated that changing this narrative is difficult because considerable communal support is necessitated.\u00a0<\/span>
\nNevertheless, efforts are being made by various groups, such as the Asylum Seeker Resource Center, whereby the public is being trained on how to speak positively about individuals who escape harm. This is as compared to arguing about their legality in their quest for asylum.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe notion being presented by the Asylum Seeker Resource Center is that seeking asylum should not be deemed illegal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asylum seekers\u2019 higher education chances<\/b><\/h2>\n

Education is usually threatened for learners in conflict situations, as well as whenever they are escaping disasters, such as ethnic persecution or war.<\/span>
\nChildren entering Australia by boat usually experience longer periods seeking asylum. Additionally, education disruption becomes inevitable whenever they are in detention centers.<\/b>
\nAs a result, asylum seekers’ higher education quest is threatened because of the lack of adequate resources of teaching staff.\u00a0<\/span>
\nAdditionally, Australia does not have a specific law outlining how long children can be held in detention and this can endanger their education prospects.\u00a0<\/span>
\nOn the other hand, it has been revealed that as the war continues in Syria, <\/span>children\u2019s learning<\/span><\/a> has been substantially affected. Notably, <\/span>war has destroyed most of the school buildings and those that have been retained are used as a refugee center for those affected.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
