UNICEF report highlights the efficiency of using digital learning to support the education and inclusion of refugees and migrant children in Bosnia and Herzegovina

This UNICEF study, titled Unlocking Learning: The use of digital learning to support the education and inclusion of refugees and migrant children in Bosnia and Herzegovina, provides an in-depth analysis of the implementation and effectiveness of the Akelius digital learning application in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has been designed to assist refugee and migrant children in learning English and German.

Between 2018 and 2022, 95,000 refugees and migrants are expected to enter Bosnia and Herzegovina, up from barely a few dozen entries per year before 2017. The country’s educational systems are under tremendous strain as a result of this expansion.

The results show that including a digital application into a blended learning strategy in the classroom was notably helpful for individualised learning and supporting kids with a range of learning challenges. The report also looks at the difficulties encountered and effective strategies for enhancing the use of digital learning in schools.
