Since the latest refugee wave includes more highly educated people, higher education institutions might serve as a strong inclusion instrument to integrate them into local communities. Norway has established a novel recognition procedure for persons without verifiable documentation. This study introduces this new methodology… Show more

“…In this area, the papers contributed to a wide range of topics such as the recognition of foreign degrees (Dunwoodie et al 2020), program evaluation, academic culture , language proficiency (Nayton et al 2019; Park 2019), internationalization (Streitwieser 2019;, equity, inclusion, and widening participation. These studies often focused on the perspectives of refugee students but also included higher education practitioners (Streitwieser et al 2018a), domestic and international fellow students (Ergin 2016; Grüttner 2019), teachers (Schröder et al 2019), policymakers (Jungblut et al 2018;Toker 2019), NGO members (Nayton et al 2019), and policy analysts (Unangst 2019).…”

“…They often lack trained staff and have difficulties finding enough specialists (Maringe et al 2017), such as competent language teachers, instructors with intercultural training (Crea and Sparnon 2017), or qualified providers of psychological support (Steinhilber 2019), to address the complex and diverse needs of refugee students (Schröder et al 2019, p. 72). Additionally, some papers described faculty members' insecurities about how to address students who have experienced forced migration or deal with practical questions (e.g., determining the validity of documents; Schammann and Younso 2017, p. 12;Toker 2019;Lenette 2016).…”

Norway realised early that leaving the responsibility to recognise undocumented prior qualifications to local actors was not a successful strategy, as many deplored the lack of consistency and efficiency of the processes.…”
