How does the UN refugee agency decide who should be resettled? Does Australia accept all refugees referred to it by the UN refugee agency? What happens to the 97% of refugees who don't make it out? - UNHCR Innovation. About 40 years ago, my parents and their relatives were stuck in refugee camps after they were forced to flee their homes in Vietnam.
They faced a dangerous and uncertain future, running from one camp to another, not knowing where life would take them next. And yet, one generation later, here they are today: successful Canadian citizens who have raised a family with a promising future. This was only made possible when Canada decided to resettle nearly 60,000 Southeast Asian refugees between 1979 and 1980 over 100,000 Vietnamese refugees in total. My story is one of thousands that Canadians tell which exemplify, so precisely, what our nation represents at our core.

Left Behind - Refugee Education in Crisis. Globally, 91 per cent of children attend primary school. For refugees, the figure is far lower, at only 61 per cent – and in low-income countries it falls short of 50 per cent. Even so, there is progress to report. The proportion of refugees in primary school in 2016 was up sharply on the previous year (from 50 per cent), thanks largely to measures taken by Syria’s neighbours to enrol more refugee children in school and other educational programmes, as well as increased refugee enrolment in European countries that are better able to expand capacity.
As refugee children get older, however, the obstacles only increase: just 23 per cent of refugee adolescents are enrolled in secondary school, compared to 84 per cent globally.
