A MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF REFUGEE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ POVERTY EXPERIENCES IN ESKİŞEHİR

Abstract

The main aim of this research is to present the experiences and problems of refugee high school students studying in different types of high schools in Eskişehir from a multidimensional perspective. The study revealed that refugee high school students encounter difficulties to varying degrees in areas such as education, accommodation, participation, meeting personal needs, leisure activities, and social relationships. It was determined that a large portion of them live in rented accommodations, some work in conditions that are not favorable outside of school hours, and the majority are unable to participate in leisure activities. Furthermore, it was found that a significant number of students rely on assistance, while some resort to seeking help through transnational migrant networks.
