SYRIAN CONFLICT PREVENTING PALESTINIAN REFUGEES FROM GOING BACK TO
SCHOOL - UN AGENCY
New York, Sep 1 2013 3:00PM
Over half of the schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works
Agency (UNRWA) in Syria are closed, affecting some 45,000 children, it
was announced today.
"Whether because of damage to buildings or because of the overall
insecurity, nearly two thirds of our students in Syria will not be
able to return to their schools this fall," UNRWA spokesperson Chris
Gunness said in a <" http://www.unrwa.org/etemplate.php?id=1862">press
release.
He added that in addition to disrupting their education, the closures
make it even harder for children to maintain a sense of continuity in
an already difficult situation.
Of the UN agency's 118 schools in Syria, only 49 will reopen for the
2013-2014 school year.
UNRWA said it is working on alternatives, such as broadcasting classes
on its television channel and developing long-distance learning
materials.
"The situation in Syria is a great challenge, but it has only
increased the importance of ensuring that Palestine refugees have
access to high-quality and continued education," said Caroline
Pontefract, UNRWA Director of Education.
Since fighting began in March 2011 between the Syrian Government and
opposition groups seeking to oust President Bashar Al-Assad as many as
100,000 people have been killed, almost 2 million have fled to
neighbouring countries and a further 4 million have been internally
displaced. In addition, at least 6.8 million Syrian require urgent
humanitarian assistance, half of whom are children.
Following a visit to the region in July, Leila Zerrougui, Special
Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed
Conflict, said without a political solution to the conflict in Syria,
the country faces "a generation of angry, illiterate adults."
She said schools in the region are trying to assist Syrian children,
but challenges remain stemming from discrepancies in curriculum,
capacity and language.
In Lebanon, which hosts around 50,000 Palestine refugees, only about
35 per cent of students are enrolled in school, according to UNRWA
figures.
