Among the various destination countries, Sweden offers valuable insight into how newcomers navigate their host society without ethnic migrant networks. This study is the first to examine how Ukrainian refugees navigate schooling in their new context and perceive the change in their children's education trajectories when they cannot rely on existing ethnic networks. Bourdieu's theoretical framework helps us understand the families' educational practices in relation to their various forms of pre-migration capital. The findings reveal three distinct patterns in how the families exercise school choice in the new context: proactively utilising the education system (the Proactive), relying on social capital beyond ethnic ties in making education-related decisions (the Reliant), and being unaware of or abstaining from exercising choice (the Disconnected). Transnational habitus formation is observed in the families' ambivalence about the change in their children's education trajectory and the 'double-schooling' practice resulting from it. This study adds to the literature on forced migration and education of wartime migrant children by shedding light on how the various forms of the families' pre-migration capital shape the children's educational trajectories. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Ethnic & Migration Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
