Khalid Arar, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy at Texas State University and an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Leadership in Education. For the past two decades, his research has focused on both K12 and higher education policies through the lens of equity and diversity. His commitment to challenging injustices globally and studying the plight of refugees in diverse settings has led him to the topic of this book and other publications.

"Refugee education provides a severe test for the generally accepted view that school leadership is context-dependent. The 21st century has seen unprecedented mass migration, with very serious consequences for children’s education. Khalid Arar’s important new book examines this phenomenon drawing on empirical research in several settings, providing valuable insights for policy-makers, school leaders, and researchers. "Professor Tony Bush, Editor Educational Management, Administration & Leadership, University Of Nottingham, UK."Drawing on a rich body and variety of literature and policy, this book addresses a compelling and urgent issues for educators and administrators today - the integration of refugees students into educational systems across the globe. A particular strength of the book is its wide sweep across continents and cultures. I would urge all policy makers and educators interested in building more socially cohesive societies to read this book and absorb its crucial lessons". Professor Jane Wilkinson, Editor Journal of Education Administration & History, Monash University, Australia. "This book confronts one of the densest problems facing educational leaders internationally – the meaningful education of refugees. Arar combines the latest research and informed commentary with his own unshakable dedication to making a difference to the lives of refugee children. He does this in a way that not only helps us better understand the complexities involved but also offers positive, carefully considered strategies for both leaders and policy makers to apply in schools. The book is a must read"- Professor Allan Walker, The Education University, Hong Kong. "Khalid Arar’s School Leadership for Refugee’s Education is one of the first book to examine the role of school leadership and policy analysis guidelines and up-to-date research finding concerning refugee education in a global context. This book is an invaluable resource and "must-read" for educational leaders, policy makers and scholars dealing with refugee education."Selahattin Turan, Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy, Bursa Uludağ University, Turkey.
