Enabling the successful integration of refugee students into the German schooling system poses a crucial challenge for the coming years. Drawing from the human rights framework of the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies standards, we applied a rights-based approach to policy analysis on educational provisions for refugee students from 2012 to 2018. According to international and European law, Germany is obliged to grant similar access to education for nationals as well as refugee children and youth. In reality, the realization of educational rights varies from state to state. This will be highlighted and discussed in this article, using the example of two very different German states, Hamburg and Saxony. The sudden rise of numbers of refugees led only slowly to an increase in educational policy density and intensity on federal state and national levels in 2016 and 2017. We find that the differences in compulsory schooling, models of integration into schooling, and the asylum and settlement policies in both states shape the educational participation of refugee children and youths. Both states implemented parallel integration models that might bear risks of stigmatization and limit educational possibilities. However, transition and language support concepts in both contexts contain integrative phases offering language supports in the regular classrooms. Asylum policies and state-specific settlement policies have profound implications for the rights and access to education. Further, vocational education and training programs play a crucial role, especially in Saxony, to tackle demographic challenges. Favoriser des trajectoires d'integration reussies pour les etudiants refugies dans le systeme deducation allemand constitue un defi important pour les prochaines annees. Nous appuyant sur le cadre des droits humains du Reseau Inter-agences pour VEducation en Situations d'Urgence, nous avons applique une approche axee sur les droits a Tanalyse des politiques en matiere d'offre educative pour les etudiants refugies de 2012 a 2018. En vertu de la lot nationale et europeenne, l'Allemagne est dans Vobligation d'accorder auxenfants et auxjeunes refugies un acc'es d leducation comparable a celui de ses citoyens. Dans lesfaits, lexercice du droit a leducation varie dun Etat a lautre. Cet article aborde cette question a travers les exemples de deux Etats allemands <>, soit Hambourg et la Saxe. La hausse soudaine du nombre de refugies n'a mene que tres lentement a une densite et une intensite accrues des politiques educatives au niveau des Etats federaux et au niveau national en 2016 et 2017. Nous constatons que les differences dans la scolarisation obligatoire, dans les modeles d'integration au systeme scolaire et dans les politiques d'asile et detablissement des deux Etats fagonnent la participation educative des enfants et des jeunes refugies. Les deux Etats mettent en oeuvre des modeles d'integration paralleles qui peuvent comporter des risques de stigmatisation et limiter les possibility educatives. Les approches en matiere de transition et de soutien linguistique dans les deux contextes contiennent cependant des phases d'integration oil un soutien linguistique est offert dans les classes regulihes. Les politiques d'asile et les politiques detablissement propres a chaque Etat ont d'importantes consequences en mature de droits et d'acces a leducation. De plus, les programmes de formation professionnelle jouent un rdle crucial, en particulier en Saxe, pour relever les defis demographiques., Introduction Germany has long been the primary destination country for asylum seekers in Europe, although their numbers have reached a historical high in recent years.

The article unpacks and analyzes the potentials and shortcomings of a humanitarian framework for educational response during protracted displacement. Humanitarianism is concerned with the immediate, while education is future oriented. Calls to shift the humanitarian discourse from relief and survival to development have contributed to include education as part of the humanitarian response. The article analyzes potentials and limitations in Lebanon's education provision and policies for Syrian refugees. We discuss the impact and implications of the humanitarian response and reflect on what principles should be formulated for provision of a socially just, inclusive, and more developmental education for refugees in protracted displacement.
