The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees committee,

Acknowledging that 3.7 million school-aged refugee children are not enrolled in school, and

lack a “basic education”,

Alarmed by the lack of accessibility of basic education,

Fully aware that the right to education is an SDG,

Acknowledging that there is limited infrastructure inside refugee camps,

1. Encourages transnational firms to:

a. Pay a variable percentage of their profits to NGOs competent in the education
of refugees, which will lead to donations,
b. Collect donations from their consumers which will be directly donated to the
NGOs for funding of the United Nations Education Programme ;

2. Wishes to create the first global, off-line application managed by the United Nations
(UN) which would be:

a. Usable for educational purposes in order to teach refugees :
i. Languages,
ii. General information about the country,

iii. User skills to benefit from digital technology,
b. Compatible with low-cost, maximum recycled appliances supplied by member
States, whose use is reserved for the UN education application, the latter being
deployed in the main refugee influx areas;

3. Wishes to develop a second online application for the collection, storage and sharing
of refugee data which:

a. Provides information on country of origin, education and health,
b. Allows the monitoring of the refugee regardless of his movements and to
respond effectively to their needs,

c. Allows teachers to complete the file of the refugees being monitored,
