Abstract

This paper presents findings derived from questionnaire-based research aimed at understanding the nuanced landscape of educational access for refugees in Romania. Focused on firsthand perspectives, the study utilizes structured questionnaires administered to refugees residing in various regions of Romania. Through quantitative analysis and thematic exploration of responses, the research identifies key barriers and enablers impacting refugees' access to education in the country. The outcomes underscore multifaceted challenges, notably encompassing language barriers, bureaucratic complexities, and limited educational resources. Additionally, socio-economic disparities and cultural integration hurdles represent significant impediments. However, the research also illuminates promising aspects, highlighting the resilience of refugee communities, informal support networks, and aspirations for education as driving forces despite adversities. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders involved in refugee integration. They underscore the imperative need for tailored interventions, including language support programs, streamlined administrative procedures, and culturally sensitive educational initiatives.
