MARGINALIZATION IN EDUCATION
The United Nations Development Programme defines marginalization
as "the state of being considered unimportant, undesirable,
unworthy, insignificant, and different." This results in inequity,
unfairness, deprivation, and a lack of access to mainstream power.
According to the most recent statistics from tne UN, there are
21.3 million refugees and 51% are below 18 years of age. This is
the highest record so far since WW2.
