- Criticism levied against: Lack of educational institution for numerous refugee children
The Charity Welfare Association of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) is voicing concerns over the fact that numerous young individuals from refugee backgrounds are struggling to attend school. The issue lies in the fact that these children and teens living in state-run collective accommodations are barred from attending schools and nurseries, as reported by the umbrella organization of non-profit welfare services.
Rather than being granted an education, they're subjected to prolonged idleness under harsh circumstances. Their right to education and protection is blatantly disregarded, as pointed out by the association's board member Christian Woltering. Decent school alternatives are seldom provided.
According to the Charity Welfare Association, over 3500 young individuals reside in these state facilities. Such environments are ill-suited for children. They're mostly unguarded and unheard, exposure to the dangers of long-term collective living being a constant risk.
Woltering asserts that stays in these massive state facilities should be kept to an absolute minimum for families. Instead, priority should be given to housing in decentralized apartments. "Refugee kids and youths have the right to grow up in nurturing conditions and to gain expeditious access to education," Woltering emphasized.
The Refugee family struggles under the harsh circumstances of prolonged idleness, as their children are denied education due to their residency in state-run collective accommodations. The association's board member, Christian Woltering, advocates for prioritizing housing in decentralized apartments to provide refugee kids with nurturing conditions and expeditious access to education.
