The new ÖGfE-Policy Brief (28/2015) was written by Monika Mayrhofer from the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights and focuses on barriers and omissions with regard to the right to education of unaccompanied minor refugees in Austria. The right to education is a fundamental human right, which is embedded in numerous international and European human rights documents ratified by Austria. In spite of these legal obligations unaccompanied minor refugees in Austria face multiple obstacles and – very often structural – forms of discrimination concerning their access to education.
