Crossing borders: migration, pandemic, infância e educação

Abstract

The COVID-19 health crisis has had an enormous impact on educational systems on a global scale, seen above all in the suspension of in-person activities that has affected millions of students at all educational levels. Faced with a challenge of such dimensions, many international reports have pointed out the situation of special vulnerability experienced by displaced people and immigrants in the face of the direct and indirect consequences of this health crisis. Among other reasons, greater social and labor precariousness, the low consideration of their cultural and linguistic diversity in the provision of services, more limited or fragile family and support networks, or lack of knowledge of ways to access fundamental rights in the communities of reception.
