Case Study on Sampling Design

If you were an education consultant for basic education, you were invited by United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHCR) and the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) to provide suggestions and action plans to implement basic education to displaced Syrian children in Zaatari Refugee Camp in Jordan.
Before you initiate any development plans on improving living and education conditions of refugee children, you were asked to present some general investigation to understand the demography and present conditions of refugee children of 6 to 12 years old. Which sampling design you would propose as most appropriate to identify a sample representative for the research project commissioned to you? Then evaluate the strength and weakness of your sampling design. The assignment should not exceed 800 words (excluding references and appendices) in soft copy. If you have cited any academic journals or information sources, please provide in-text and reference citations by American Sociological Associations style of referencing in order to demonstration academic honesty in using other sources.
Hint:
1. Check whether there is any ancillary data about displaced children, persons or families
of Syrian refugees in Zaatari camp.
2. Check the geographical location and distribution of refugee shelters.
