These children of families fleeing to Indonesia from all over the world—mostly Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Syria—have no access to schooling because they have not yet obtained the legal status of refugees from the government of Indonesia. ![Adults and children sit together in a circle on patterned rugs in a crowded room during a community gathering.](https://media.eliteprep.com/HLC%2B2-webp-w800.webp) To help these children during this uncertain time, [Elite Education Group](https://www.eliteeducation.group/) is opening a dedicated Elite campus in Bogor, free of charge. Fully equipped with a computer lab facility, Elite-trained teachers, and an extensive, accredited curriculum, Elite will provide these children full access to an American middle school and high school education through our recognized and proven Elite blended learning programs. ![Large group of children and adults posing on stage behind a banner reading "HLC Family Refugee Day 2017", with red flowers in front.](https://media.eliteprep.com/HLC%2B15-webp-w800.webp) In preparation to launch the first semester on February 1, 2018, Elite Education Group, in partnership with Hope Learning Center of Bogor, has been offering diagnostic and placement tests to the children to ensure a smooth transition for each student into an appropriate course from the start. After successfully launching the school for this community this spring, we hope to grow the school to accommodate even more children in need by fall semester later this year. ![Large group of adults and children posing outside a building under a banner reading "You Are Welcome / Selamat Datang" with the HLC Hope Learning Center logo.](https://media.eliteprep.com/HLC%2B1-webp-w800.webp) ## **Relevant statistics on the refugee crisis released by UNHCR – The UN Refugee Agency** According to our latest education report, 3.5 million refugee children did not attend school in 2016. Only 61% of refugee children attend primary school, compared with a global average of 91%. As refugee children age, the obstacles to education increase. Just 23% of refugee adolescents are enrolled in secondary school, compared to 84% globally. For tertiary education the situation is critical. Only 1% of refugee youth attends university, compared to 36% globally. For almost 14,000 refugees in Indonesia, this plight is a daily reality. Indonesia has a long history of welcoming refugees for temporary settlement. But with just 610 refugees permanently resettled in 2015, the majority are left facing an uncertain future. ## More on This Topic [All posts in Press](https://eliteprep.com/blog/category/press/) ![Smiling student with backpack beside a 2024 Niche Best Schools badge: "Elite Open School, ranked in the Top 2% of K-12 Schools in America, A+"](https://media.eliteprep.com/IG-Niche-EOS-2024-jpg-w400.webp) [Elite Open School](https://eliteprep.com/blog/category/elite-open-school/) ### [Elite Open School Achieves Outstanding Niche.com Rankings and Earns "A+" Overall Grade](https://eliteprep.com/blog/eos-niche-2024/) Elite Open School (EOS), a pioneer in personalized education, is proud to announce its remarkable rankings and exceptional "A+" Overall Niche Grade… September 27, 2023 ![Elite Refugee Education Project in Bogor, Indonesia Completes First Semester Successfully](https://media.eliteprep.com/Elite%2BPress%2BRelease%2BImage%2BRefugee%2B2-webp-w400.webp) [Press](https://eliteprep.com/blog/category/press/) ### [Elite Refugee Education Project in Bogor, Indonesia Completes First Semester Successfully](https://eliteprep.com/blog/refugee-education-project-first-semester/) One semester in, the Elite Refugee Education Project in Bogor, Indonesia has proven to be an unmitigated success… November 25, 2018 ![Gen.G x Elite Launches World’s First eSports International School](https://media.eliteprep.com/Elite%2BPress%2BRelease%2BGenG-webp-w400.webp) [eSports](https://eliteprep.com/blog/category/esports/) [Press](https://eliteprep.com/blog/category/press/) ### [Gen.G x Elite Launches World’s First eSports International School](https://eliteprep.com/blog/geng-esports-international-school/) Global esports conglomerate Gen.G has partnered with Elite Education Group to launch Gen.G Elite Esports Academy.
