So what I thought I would do is give you some background on higher education in displacement context, including some of the barriers, challenges, successes, and goals. And I’ll talk for just ten or twelve minutes to Irina’s question. And thank you to CFR for having me here today. I thought we could begin with you sharing your insights on some of the barriers refugees and migrants face in higher education. So, Rebecca, thank you very much for being with us today.
