New York, NY, June 30, 2021 — New research from the International Rescue Committee (IRC), conducted in partnership with New York University's Global TIES for Children (NYU-TIES), finds that an educational approach that combines remedial tutoring with social-emotional learning support has a positive impact on learning outcomes for refugee children. The project, titled “Education in Emergencies: Evidence for Action (3EA)” and with start-up funding by Dubai Cares, a global philanthropic organization based in the United Arab Emirates, looked at the impact of providing complementary education programs to refugee children enrolled in public schools in Lebanon, Niger, and Sierra Leone.
