The international community is currently witnessing the highest influx of forced migration, displaced people, and refugees compared to any other time in history. More than 230 million people worldwide have fled their homes, seeking refuge elsewhere due to war and political, economic, and environmental upheaval. The impact of refugees on the environment and infrastructure is monumental. For this reason, setting policies and programs and managing the needs of refugees are instrumental to the hosting countries. Among other concerns, there is a need to examine the educational initiatives that teach a transitioning population. Evaluating education programs is crucial to understanding their effectiveness and recommending policy and implementation changes for future efforts. This qualitative research study examines the educational experiences and obstacles of Syrian refugees enrolled in middle schools in Lebanon. In this study, I found that the academic shortcomings are mainly due to the massive volume of refugees and ratio per population and its effect on Lebanon's infrastructure, coupled with a lack of resources provided by international players, country donors, and nongovernmental organizations. The research delves into the perspectives of families and educators and uses a comparative approach to review the existing literature to deduce general trends and patterns of various refugee educational cases in Lebanon and developing countries. In this study, I used a qualitative methods approach by conducting interviews, focus groups, and surveys in a sample of students, principals, educators, and parents in four schools in Lebanon. In the findings of this study, I present four interconnected keys representing my theoretical construct: (a) disclosing aspects of support, (b) building a balanced curriculum, and (c) developing an integration process in school and in the community, and (d) social and emotional experiences. I discuss how my study informs and improves education policies and the effectiveness of refugee education programs in Lebanon and other hosting countries.
