| Sumario: | This book recounts the experiences of childhood in armed conflict settings in the Sudan, now known as South Sudan. It discusses
the displacements and disruptions caused by war, including the
necessity to flee and seek refuge in exile. The book focuses on the
interruptions to early education and the challenges of accessing
education in a refugee context. It explores the difficulties that refugees face in attaining education and the role of complementary
educational pathways that allow them to pursue higher education.
The book begins by examining how complementary education
pathways provide vital opportunities for refugee students to complete higher education. It then recounts William’s journey as a child
in his village before and during the war, which led to his fleeing to
a refugee camp in Uganda with his grandmother. William shares a
narrative of challenges, but also highlights resilience in the face of
adversity. He discusses his experience of relocating to Canada to
pursue higher education through the World University Service of
Canada (WUSC). The book addresses the challenges that he faced
in finding employment as a student and the financial hardships he
encountered. William later moved to Australia to complete a master’s degree and subsequently earned a PhD. He started a family
and actively contributed to his community, just like other people
who have not experienced armed conflict. Throughout the book,
recurring themes of hardship, resilience, and a sincere commitment to education and societal contribution are emphasised. |
