lebachew Kemisso Haybano is an Assistant Professor and a faculty in the Center for Comparative Education and Policy Studies (CCEPS) at Addis Ababa University (AAU), Ethiopia. He has got PhD in International and Comparative Education from Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia. His research focuses on how national education systems deal with issues of identity development and the integration/inclusion of refugees. He has consulted with various organizations including Danish Refugee Council, Jesuit Refugee Service, UNICEF, Education International, and UNHCR, among others, on studies related to refugees in across sub-Saharan Africa. Alebachew has extensive experience working with refugees in the camps and urban areas of Ethiopia, and excellent insider knowledge of the refugee operation and refugee management systems in Ethiopia. Alebachew’s postdoctoral fellowship in the Center for African Studies focuses on studying the promises of Ethiopia’s new policy for inclusion of refugees into national education systems and the challenges of its local implementation using evidences from the Gambella region in the Western border of Ethiopia. His research project aims to explain how historical experiences of refugee inclusion/integration inform the implementation of the new policy; understand how diverse meanings of inclusion and different approaches for inclusion affect the implementation of the new policy; analyze hopes and fears of refugees and host communities related to the implementation of the new policy; and investigate existing capacities and incentives in the Ethiopian education system that can facilitate or hinder implementation of the new policy for inclusion of refugees into national education system.
