Dr Nataša Pantic presented TEAMS research on migrant education (with a specific focus on response to receiving refugees from Ukraine) to teachers in Bratislava on Tuesday 22nd November 2022. This was at the request of the UNICEF Education team, co-organising the conference with the City of Bratislava.
The UNICEF Slovakia Ukraine refugee response office was set up to support the government, state and municipal partners and other stakeholders in addressing the needs of children and families who fled the war, and to promote their access to and inclusion in the Slovak education system, early childhood education and care, health, child protection, and social protection services. The conference was an opportunity to share the emerging findings with teachers from primary and secondary schools from the City of Bratislava and discuss their implication for responding to the new influx of students from Ukraine.
