With the Syrian refugee crisis, the subject of refugees’ access to HE, which was only partially funded owing to donor reluctance, was prominently covered in the news, with concepts such as preventing the lost generation, resilience, reconstructing countries, and education as a human right. With the Ukraine crisis, the issue of supporting the higher education of refugees came to the fore again. By 2030, the UNHCR plans to have 30 per cent of refugees enrolled in HE. Although primary education is a right guaranteed by international agreements, equality of refugees’ right to higher education depends on some criteria. Through document analysis, this paper aims to examine the criteria for equality of the right to access to higher education in the context of human rights. International regulations, UNHCR’s education strategies and country policies are examined. Data were categorized into four groups as equality of the right and equal opportunities: success, legal statuses, state’s institutional support and donor support. The policies of Canada, Germany, Turkey and the United Kingdom are examined. Addressing refugee higher education within the scope of human rights only supports the availability of the service. Success and legal status are the criteria for ensuring the equality of the right. The access to higher education right and the provision of financial support only to recognized refugees will create inequality for groups such as asylum seekers who are not legally refugees. The support of countries and donors are necessary to ensure equal opportunities for refugees to access higher education. Furthermore, refugees’ access to higher education can be seen as a long-term and global strategy that should be supported by economic and social reasons.

Reconceptualizing Language Norms in Multilingual Contexts

Türkiye has witnessed exponential growth in the number of English-medium instruction (EMI) programs and an influx of international students — changes that are accompanied by challenges and opportunities. This chapter examines the discrepancy between the prevailing English-only policy and the increasing linguistic and cultural diversity in EMI higher education institutions in Türkiye. While the chapter focuses more on EMI programs, similar challenges in Turkish-medium (TMI) programs are also examined. The chapter argues for a shift in perspective that recognizes and embraces language diversity, and proposes the development of inclusive language policies to facilitate student interaction and involvement. It also calls for further research on multilingualism in EMI and TMI programs to inform policymaking, curriculum development, and teacher training. Overall, it argues for a comprehensive understanding of actual language needs and practices in linguistically diverse classrooms to develop policies that better serve the increasingly multilingual student body in Türkiye's universities.
