Newcomer education

The wording of the Germany addition may give a bias towards viewing its implementation and programs in a positive light rather than a neutral standpoint. It highlights all the positive aspects of these programs and appears to support Germany's consideration of refugees in schools. It is a lot of information and facts about Germany's newcomer or refugee education and could have more of a critical perspective on these policies. For the US newcomer education section, explaining the significance of deeper learning in comparison to other models and the significance of English Language Learning programs would make it more comprehensive.

Refugee children

There is a lot of focus on the Narrative and Constructive Education approach and less so on the other approaches, which seems to imply the first approach is most important or effective. I still do not have a firm understanding of the ethos of education as is explained by the quote. You explain well the distinctions of narrative and constructive education as teachers sharing similar experiences and talking about personal lived stories as increasing student engagement, but I imagine it would only be relevant in refugee contexts with teachers who were also refugees or immigrants.

Are the quotes in the Structure of Education System sarcasm or direct quotes?

It might be useful to include what specific actions the UNHCR believes needs to be taken/conclusions that have been made in response to the educational needs of refugee children.

there's some small typos but overall good! :)
