ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author presents the story of refugee Nyan Hongsa from Mon State in Myanmar, based on interviews, within the context of the individual's background and nation of origin. She shows how the refugee faces the situation in accessing education globally. Nyan talked about the struggles that faced young refugees like him seeking an education. First, he saw finance as the biggest barrier most refugees faced to accessing education: From his experience, the majority faces financial problems, actually. Second, Nyan identified a lack of knowledge among young refugees about how to access education as another challenge: His experience in the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) office is that some refugees want to study but they do not know what to do as the first step. Third, Nyan was concerned that reflecting on the gap between dreams and reality caused many young refugees to give up trying.
