EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE OF THE SUDANESE REFUGEE CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES My study seeks to gain an understanding of the educational experience of the Sudanese refugee children in the United States (U.S.). Five Sudanese refugee parents and their five non-high school children all living in Southwestern Ohio took part in this study. All of them have been within the U.S. for less than a decade. The study included interviewing, observing, and looking at reports of accomplishments of these children sent to families by schools. The approximate aggregate number of hours spent interviewing and observing the children was 22.9 hours, and overall time spent interviewing and observing the parents was approximately 12.8 hours. I have drawn on a specific theoretical framework to analyze the interviews, observations and reports of accomplishments. This theoretical framework has previously provided an understanding of the educational experience of minorities other than refugee children living in the U.S. It explains two contrasting educational experiences of minorities, one experience being the opposite of the other. My research thus seeks to understand which minorities within the U.S. share similar educational experience with refugees. By doing so it also seeks to understand which minorities do not share educational experience with refugees. This study is therefore crucial in that it seeks to broaden an existing theory to see how it would explain the educational experience of refugees especially those from Sudan. My study found that the educational experience of the five refugee pupils is similar in many ways to the experience of one group of minorities and dissimilar in many ways to the experience of another group of minorities.
