Millions have fled Syria seeking refuge in neighbouring countries since 2011. This has affected the higher education systems in host countries including Lebanon. Given Lebanon’s limited capacity to deal with the large number of youths who have sought refuge in the country, only a small fraction of vulnerable young refugees are currently enrolled in a university programme. Moreover, Lebanon’s education system makes it difficult for young Lebanese citizens to access higher education because of several considerations including the high cost of education or transportation to reach universities, language barriers and more.
