HRW reports that thousands of refugee children in Egypt face education barriers due to residency requirements and fees.

Human Rights Watch reports that tens of thousands of refugee and asylum-seeking children in Egypt face barriers to education due to bureaucratic requirements and economic challenges. Many can't meet proof of residency requirements for public schools, and rising fees exacerbate the issue. Egypt hosts over 834,000 refugees, with about 246,000 school-age children, half of whom are out of school. HRW calls for the Egyptian government to ensure free education for all children, regardless of legal status.
