Abstract

Abstract This article draws from a qualitative case study, focussing on the educational experiences of urban refugee children in Mozambique. The fieldwork conducted in Maputo and Nampula during 2018–2020 found that urban refugee children fail to relationally integrate into Mozambican schools as they are subjected to stereotypes, bullying and discrimination at schools and its surroundings. This is critical since effective integration entails more than sharing education structures. Therefore, the government of Mozambique must implement policies that maintain social cohesion and belonging among refugees and their native peers. Only then will refugee education in Mozambique provide urban refugee children with security, stability and protection.

城市难民儿童融入莫桑比克国家教育系统的挑战

摘要本文通过一个定性的案例研究，重点介绍了莫桑比克城市难民儿童的教育经历。2018年至2020年在马普托和楠普拉进行的实地调查发现，城市难民儿童无法在关系上融入莫桑比克的学校，因为他们在学校及其周围环境中受到刻板印象、欺凌和歧视。这一点至关重要，因为有效的融合不仅仅需要共享教育结构。因此，莫桑比克政府必须执行政策，保持难民及其本国同龄人的社会凝聚力和归属感。只有这样，莫桑比克的难民教育才能为城市难民儿童提供安全、稳定和保护。

期刊介绍： Third World Quarterly ( TWQ ) is the leading journal of scholarship and policy in the field of international studies. For almost four decades it has set the agenda of the global debate on development discourses. As the most influential academic journal covering the emerging worlds, TWQ is at the forefront of analysis and commentary on fundamental issues of global concern. TWQ examines all the issues that affect the many Third Worlds and is not averse to publishing provocative and exploratory articles, especially if they have the merit of opening up emerging areas of research that have not been given sufficient attention. TWQ is a peer-reviewed journal that looks beyond strict "development studies", providing an alternative and over-arching reflective analysis of micro-economic and grassroot efforts of development practitioners and planners. It furnishes expert insight into crucial issues before they impinge upon global media attention. TWQ acts as an almanac linking the academic terrains of the various contemporary area studies - African, Asian, Latin American and Middle Eastern - in an interdisciplinary manner with the publication of informative, innovative and investigative articles. Contributions are rigorously assessed by regional experts.
