REFUGEE BACKGROUND STUDENTS TRANSITIONING INTO ...

This book is one of the first of its kind to examine the aspirations of refugee background
students and accompanies them as they journey through the on-shore stage of settlement 
enrolment and participation in the Australian education system. It begins with students'
experiences of on-shore settlement  followed by the move into schooling and finally  the
subsequent transition into Australian higher education.Transitioning into higher education is a
challenge for many students  particularly for those from under-represented equity groups. For
refugee background students  navigating in  through and out of higher education can be
particularly complex and challenging. Drawing on rich case studies from longitudinal research
into refugee youth and the academic and professional staff in schools and universities who
support them  the book provides powerful and compelling narratives and insights into this
journey. It untangles the complex nature of transition for students of refugee background in
higher education  locating it within broader social trends of increasing social and cultural
diversity  as well as government practices and policies concerning the educational resettlement
of refugees.
