Description

Undocumented pupils, brought to a country as children without legal status, face various barriers to accessing education, financial aid, and employment. To better understand and address these challenges, it’s essential to examine their first-hand experiences and the roles of institutions and organizations in providing support and resources. Undocumented students face various factors that influence their educational prospects, including legal and policy barriers, financial resources, education pathways, support services, and social and cultural barriers. Addressing these challenges would help institutions and peers create a more equitable and inclusive society that supports the aspirations of all individuals, regardless of their legal status.
