A glimpse into the classroom of a refugee school: ‘It’s not surprising if a chair suddenly becomes empty’ | Amersfoort

There is one certainty for most primary school children: tomorrow I will be sitting next to my boyfriend or girlfriend in the circle again. But not on Wereldwijzer. Don’t be surprised if a seat suddenly becomes empty. At this specialized school, more than half of the pupils live in an asylum seekers’ centre, where relocations are the order of the day. It AD watched a day in class. “I’d rather stay in one place.”
