In line with European and national law, every child has the right to education and, most importantly, any refugee child. Safeguarding the right of young refugees entering the country to education has been a key concern of the Ministry of Education since the beginning of 2016. This highly demanding project was designed under time pressure conditions and is being implemented in a highly fluid environment on a refugee population that is both heterogeneous in terms of its characteristics and unstable in terms of refugee population numbers, their location and their living conditions in the country. Refugees have come from a variety of warring countries, and have experienced very hard circumstances in their majority, but they do not make up a homogeneous group; these people are individuals of various nationalities with different social and cultural characteristics and different economic and cultural capital. In addition, after the closure of the borders and the agreement between the EU and Turkey, both the legal status and the prospects of resettlement in different countries began to change for the various groups of refugees who are located in mainland Greece and the islands. Finally, refugees' living conditions also show great variations depending on the Accommodation Center and the region in which they were found. In addition, these parameters constantly change over time when refugees move from place to place and from a Reception Accommodation Center (RAC) to other accommodation areas in apartments, hotels, etc. Within this constantly transforming environment, in March 2016, the Ministry of Education Research & Religious Affairs took the initiative to prepare a plan for the integration of refugee children into education in order to contribute to their wider social integration. On March 18, 2016, the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs through the Minister of Education established three committees for the support of refugee children pursuant to a Miisterial Deisio Α //Ministry of Education Research & Religious Affairs/18.03.16) reached by the Minister of Education, Mr Nikos Filios, as follows: The Committee for the Support of Refugee Children headed by the Secretary General of the Ministry of Education Research & Religious Affairs and 14 staff members from the Ministry of Education Research & Religious Affairs. The Scientific Committee (SC) consisting of 26 professors and
