Summary:

Based on the Sustainable Development Goal 4, the report provides an overview of the current situation with regard to the progress and deficits around this formulated goal. Not only different types of migration and displacement are presented and unresolved challenges are uncovered; in particular, there is a presentation of the complex and reciprocal relationship between education and migration and displacement and its effects on a micro- and macro level; in short: Education affects migration and displacement. The report makes clear that there is a need for action: People living in the field of tension “migration and displacement” are still marginalised, individual needs are not sufficiently recognised. Persons concerned are often invisible in data and the access to education and training measures affects – in different ways but in principle equally – children, adolescents and adults. Curricula, pedagogy and teacher preparation must be subjected to far-reaching reflection and reform, as on the one hand these areas have not yet been sufficiently adapted to the changing general social conditions, on the other hand, or in addition, it must be acknowledged to what extent reforms can also have an influence on attitudes to diversity. With reference to various studies, the report attempts to describe the challenges that persons concerned are confronted with and thereby links theory and practice; in the sense of a resource-oriented approach, concrete points of reference are developed, so that the report also functions as a tool that can be used in practice to fulfill the implementation of SDG 4.
