This article presents a comprehensive study of the educational challenges faced by forcibly displaced students, comprising refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers, up to the junior high school level. It underscores the pivotal role of education, not only as a fundamental right but also as a catalyst for economic growth and community integration amidst the escalating global forced displacement. Advocating for a shift from short-term humanitarian responses to long-term development approaches, the article calls for sustainable funding, inclusive national education systems, and diverse educational solutions. Utilizing a comprehensive methodology that integrates statistics, policy analysis, case studies, and real-life examples, the study illuminates the evolving policy landscape, recognizing the transition towards development-oriented approaches and inclusive policies. Critical components in addressing these challenges include global collaboration, innovation, and data availability, along with notable initiatives by organizations such as UNHCR, the World Bank, and the Global Partnership for Education. The conclusion emphasizes the urgency of developing evidence-based policies and intervention strategies to overcome barriers faced by forcibly displaced students up to the junior high school level by prioritizing inclusive practices, removing barriers, and investing in post-primary education to break the cycle of displacement, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 4 for an inclusive and better future.
