Over the last decade, Greece has been the dominant receiver of large waves of both migrants and refugees. Taking into consideration that (a) immigration (and the displacement of people from their homes in general) is a social phenomenon, (b) education has a significant influence on the development process and access to education is absolutely a fundamental human right, (c) real development calls for improved educational opportunities and access for all citizens without any discrimination, and (d) the lives of young refugees have been impacted by negative experiences, then the purpose of this paper is to investigate, through qualitative analysis, the access and the opportunities that the Greek higher education system offers to young refugees (if they wish to enter) and to identify possible barriers raised by existing educational policy. A qualitative survey was conducted by analysing the relevant Greek legislative framework and by using structured interviews with key personnel of refugee support organizations and higher education institutions (HEIs), both public and private. This study supports the view that higher education should aim to remove any barriers to accessibility, have a humanitarian orientation, ensure equality and constitute a key step in the whole process of socialization.

希腊青年难民接受高等教育的机会和障碍

在过去十年中，希腊一直是大量移民和难民的主要接收国。考虑到 (a) 移民（以及人们普遍流离失所）是一种社会现象，(b) 教育对发展进程有重大影响，接受教育绝对是一项基本人权，(c ) 真正的发展要求在没有任何歧视的情况下改善所有公民的教育机会和机会，并且 (d) 年轻难民的生活受到负面经历的影响，那么本文的目的是通过定性分析调查获得和希腊高等教育系统为年轻难民（如果他们希望进入）提供的机会，并确定现有教育政策可能带来的障碍。通过分析相关的希腊立法框架，并通过对难民支持组织和高等教育机构 (HEI) 的主要人员进行结构化访谈，无论是公立还是私立，进行了一项定性调查。本研究支持以下观点，即高等教育应旨在消除任何障碍，具有人道主义导向，确保平等并构成整个社会化过程中的关键步骤。
