TOWARDS INCLUSIVE EDUCATION FOR REFUGEE CHILDREN (TIEREF): A EUROPEAN POLICY FRAMEWORK

Figen Sekin

Abstract


The TIEREF initiative (Key Action 3: Support for Policy Reform – Social Inclusion through Education, Training and Youth) represents a comprehensive European effort to foster inclusive education for refugee and migrant children. The initiative sought to close the “native–immigrant” achievement gap by building a network of ministries, regional authorities, and schools that co-developed multilingual resources and teacher training tools. Through digital innovation and professional collaboration, TIEREF operationalised EU policy priorities—such as the EU Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion (2021–2027) and the European Child Guarantee (2021)—and demonstrated how open access and peer learning can enhance equity and belonging in education.
