Abstract

ABSTRACT The lives of children seeking asylum and refuge are complex; invariably both transnational and intersectional. Their educational needs and schooling experiences are often overlooked or lack nuanced understandings. This article focusses on Kurdish children seeking asylum in Germany. Qualitative data is presented to uncover the perceptions and understandings of schools, teachers and parents of children living through their unique educational experiences. These narratives are nestled within a macro context of worldwide forced migration and how formal education is responding to this but also the geo-political context of Kurdish statelessness. The analysis reveals that the children were spatially, culturally, linguistically, racially, socially and politically marginalised. This was both implicit and explicit; embedded within policy and practice. The study highlights the school as a prime location where racial identity and asylum seeking intersects with the multiple realities of childhood, migration, and education.
无国籍学生:库尔德寻求庇护者的“不适”
寻求庇护和避难的儿童的生活是复杂的;总是既有跨国的也有跨部门的。他们的教育需求和上学经历往往被忽视或缺乏细致入微的理解。这篇文章关注的是在德国寻求庇护的库尔德儿童。提供了定性数据,以揭示学校、教师和儿童家长对其独特教育经历的看法和理解。这些叙述植根于世界范围内被迫移民的宏观背景下,以及正规教育如何应对这一问题,但也植根于库尔德无国籍状态的地缘政治背景下。分析表明,这些儿童在空间、文化、语言、种族、社会和政治上都被边缘化了。这既含蓄又露骨;嵌入政策和实践中。该研究强调,学校是种族认同和寻求庇护与童年、移民和教育等多重现实交叉的黄金地段。
