Teachers' experiences and perceptions about the entry of refugee children in schools: a qualitative inquiry

This research aimed at exploring the experiences and views of nine primary school teachers about the recent entry of refugee children from temporary accommodation camps in the country's mainstream schools. Teachers have a central role in the welcoming and integration of these children at school, as well as in their general support at a cognitive-emotional and social level, and thus exploring their views on this issue is very important and can contribute to the strengthening of our knowledge for improving the conditions. To carry out this research, a qualitative methodology was chosen using semi-structured interviews and all participants had direct experience with these children as they were working in schools that had received children from temporary refugee accommodation facilities. From the thematic analysis of the interviews, it appeared that all the teachers were positive about the integration of these children into mainstream schools, but many also mentioned the various problems that exist, such as the difficulties of refugee children with language and socializing, the lack of teacher training in order to adequately support these children, the lack of knowledge about their background and individual needs, the "sloppiness" with which the system appears to place them in classrooms, , the "temporaryity" of their stay in the country, and other things that make teachers wonder whether this whole integration effort actually helps them. Participants also mentioned the type of relationship they believe they have with the refugee children and their personal feelings towards them, mostly expressing empathy and the desire to help them as much as they can in their difficult situation. From the findings of this research, there appears to be a great need to adapt the current support system for refugee children to school and the need for a clearer action plan for teachers. Participants also referred to factors that could help the integration of refugee children in schools and had many and interesting suggestions that could be used to design more effective integration programs and to implement more targeted interventions in the school community.
