Abstract As technology advances devices can replicate and imitate our real-world environment. Extended reality makes the human lifestyle more present in the virtual world and guarantees an immersive experience: virtual, augmented, and mixed realities giving more opportunities to broaden human experience. This study attempts to promote extended reality in the spectrum of refugee education, community building, and supplying XR educational experience to developing counties. Extended reality stimulates critical thinking, innovative thinking, and hypothetical thinking while promoting constant examination in finding the expansion of new theories, new technologies, new tools, and new methods. XR seeks to connect and link the virtual and physical worlds or assist the process of learning by doing and building a high-quality education through engaging learning that promotes educational equity for sustainable global population development. One of the study's limitations is that there is inadequate research on providing sustainable education to refugees, developing counties, and re-settled refugee communities. Keywords: education, extended reality, refugees, developing counties, community
