Strengthen the capacity of school leaders, and provincial and national ministries of education stakeholders to prioritise refugee teacher agency and well-being when implementing national refugee teacher inclusion policies and programmes. 3. Mobilise evidence (through the study outputs) focused on how to integrate refugee teachers in a way that prioritises enhancing refugee teacher agency and well-being as well as gender equality and inclusion, particularly in the lead-up to and during the next Global Refugee Forum in 2027
