Abstract
Education is a basic human right. Every child has the right to benefit through education and the social agencies make sure that they accord their children with the respect they deserve through providing them with educational opportunities. While this is an accepted goal all over the world, it is also a fact that children all over the world do not enjoy the same opportunities for education. Among the deprived ones are the disabled, those belonging to poorer communities and the refugee children. The present paper sets out to explore the challenges faced by the refugee children in their access to education. A total of 45 refugee children divided into three age groups have participated in the study. The study adopts qualitative research paradigm with focus group discussions as the main research design. The results not only indicate that these children are highly at risk, they also reflect the innocence and plight of the children who are made victims of aggression through territorial divides.
