Abstract: The study examined the barriers to accessibility of learning opportunities among refugee children. A systematic review involved 25 articles that were subjected to thematic content analysis using Atlas.ti software version 22. The results revealed several barriers which included: poor school support, sexual violence from teachers and peers, curriculum gaps between home and host country and unresponsive learning environment. Other barriers were: limited access to teaching materials, classroom space, language and cultural barriers and lack of parental support. There is a need for more evidence-based efforts which aim at creating a responsive learning environment among refugee children in the host countries.
