How do you help young displaced people get a better start in life?

Young people who become refugees often have their education disrupted \\u2013 which can have a serious impact on their future prospects. But we find out about two schemes that are trying to help.\\n \\nIn Jordan, a charity has developed a high school curriculum specifically aimed at young people who are displaced. Amala enables 16-25 year olds to complete their secondary education, and also develop skills that will help their community.\\n \\nAnd when it comes to further education another organisation in Canada has been helping young refugees. The Student Refugee Program run by the World University Service help them to study at Canadian universities and then settle in the country. We speak to a student who\\u2019s been through the scheme, and to one of the volunteers who helped them.
