Within the Middle East and North Africa region, more than 5,600,000 Syrian refugees are currently registered with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) as seen here https://www.unhcr.org/. Amongst university-aged refugees, only a small fraction (Jordan – 8%, Lebanon – 6%, Turkey – 1%) are currently enrolled in higher education. This paper, based on empirical qualitative research with Syrian refugee youth, is a critical investigation into their access to, and experiences with, higher education opportunities provided for them by local and international partners. Using interview and focus group data, the paper examines the availability, accessibility, acceptability and adaptability of higher education opportunities currently on offer for Syrian refugees in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. The paper argues that while access to higher education is increasing for refugees within the Syrian context, accessibility, acceptability and adaptability of these opportunities to the needs of refugees remains problematic. In this way, higher education often falls short of enabling refugees to live lives that they have reason to value.

重新考虑约旦，黎巴嫩和土耳其的叙利亚难民的高等教育

在中东和北非地区，目前有超过560万叙利亚难民在联合国难民署（UNHCR）登记，网址为https://www.unhcr.org/。在大学时代的难民中，只有一小部分（约旦– 8％，黎巴嫩– 6％，土耳其– 1％）正在接受高等教育。本文基于对叙利亚难民青年的实证定性研究，对他们获得本地和国际合作伙伴提供的高等教育机会以及获得高等教育机会的经验进行了重要的调查。本文使用访谈和焦点小组数据，研究了目前为约旦，黎巴嫩和土耳其的叙利亚难民提供的高等教育机会的可用性，可及性，可接受性和适应性。该论文认为，尽管在叙利亚背景下难民获得高等教育的机会在增加，但这些机会对难民需求的可及性，可接受性和适应性仍然存在问题。这样，高等教育往往无法使难民过上他们有理由重视的生活。
