Neutral countries such as spain and norway (not sure it might be sweden or both) were often targets for refugees because there was no fighting going on there.
yes
Whether evacuees went to school after being evacuated depends on the specific context and time period. For instance, during events like World War II or natural disasters, many evacuee children were often relocated to schools in safer areas, where they continued their education. However, in some cases, educational opportunities may have been limited due to the circumstances of displacement. Overall, the experience varied widely based on location and the nature of the evacuation.
Evacuees, particularly during World War II, often attended makeshift schools established in safer areas or rural locations where they were relocated. These schools utilized local facilities, such as community halls or village schools, to accommodate the influx of children. Teachers and volunteers, sometimes from the evacuees’ home areas, facilitated lessons, focusing on core subjects while also providing emotional support to help children adjust to their new environments. The experience varied greatly depending on the location and resources available.
Kids continued to attend school during World War 1. In countries that had compulsory education before the war, nearly all kids continued to go to school. In many countries education was compulsory only up to age 14 or in some cases, only 13.
