Undocumented Children Face These Challenges in Accessing Public Education
Unaccompanied children arriving from Central America face many challenges – post-traumatic stress, facing a judge without an attorney, separation from their families, and the fear of being returned to their home countries, among others. Receiving the public education to which they are entitled should not be one of those challenges. However, a recent report from the Georgetown Law Human Rights Institute finds that undocumented immigrant children often face obstacles to school enrollment and difficulty accessing educational services. Furthermore, children and their parents are fearful of attending school in light of recent ICE enforcement actions.
