UNICEF: almost half of Syrian children deprived of education

Posted on January 25, 2021January 30, 2021 By admin

UNICEF has revealed that half of the Syrian children are out of schools, and that almost 40% of them are girls, as the ten-year old Syrian Crisis inflicts the children heavily.

Muhannad Hadi, Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Syria Crisis and Ted Chaiban UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, released a joint statement in which they stated:” “Children in Syria continue to bear the brunt of the crisis that will be marked by a grim milestone of ten years in March this year. The education system in Syria is overstretched, underfunded, fragmented and unable to provide safe, equitable and sustained services to millions of children.

“Inside Syria, there are over 2.4 million children out of school, nearly 40 per cent are girls. This number has likely increased in 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which exacerbated the disruption to education in Syria. One in three schools inside Syria can no longer be used because they were destroyed, damaged or are being used for military purposes. Children who are able to attend school often learn in overcrowded classrooms, and in buildings with insufficient water and sanitation facilities, electricity, heating or ventilation.

“The UN is able to confirm nearly 700 attacks on education facilities and personnel in Syria since the verification of grave violations against children began. Last year, 52 attacks were confirmed.

“While the war continues, education remains the beacon for millions of children. It is a right that should be protected and persevered. We call upon those fighting to refrain from attacks on education facilities and personnel across Syria.

The statement concluded by calling on all warring parties to sustain from targeting scooling facilities and personnel in the whole of Syrian territories.
