Rebuilding Education: Syrian Children Return to War-Scarred Schools
In southern Idlib, Syria, families return after exile to find schools in ruins. Nearly 40% of Syrian schools remain destroyed post-civil war. Rebuilding these institutions is crucial as millions of children lack access to education. Efforts include makeshift classrooms and remote learning programs amid limited resources.
In the war-ravaged southern Idlib countryside of Syria, families are slowly returning from years of displacement. However, the devastation left in the wake of the civil conflict persists, particularly within the educational sector.
Many schools, a critical piece for stable community life, remain in ruins. Over a year has passed since the ousting of former President Bashar Assad, yet approximately 40% of schools across the nation are still destroyed. This has left millions of Syrian children without proper educational opportunities.
Efforts are underway to mend this crisis. Schools are being reopened, albeit in skeletal form, and there is a push for remote learning initiatives as temporary solutions. Nonetheless, the journey to restore education in these war-torn regions demands significant investments and time.
