AGPS documented a sharp nosepe in access to education for Palestinians sheltered in Daraa refugee camp, south of Syria.
According to a recent report by AGPS, all of Daraa’s schools have been destroyed or put out of operation in the raging warfare as a result of heavy shelling using missiles and barrel bombs. A number of education facilities have also been turned into prisons or field hospitals, imperiling Palestinians’ academic careers.
At the same time, dozens of Palestinian teaching staff members have been arrested and sent to jail.
AGPS continues to appeal to the Palestine Liberation Organization and UNRWA, among all concerned institutions, to urgently step in and work on reconstructing destroyed schools, providing civilians with the needed psycho-physical protection, and boosting children’s access to education in Daraa.
Upon more than one occasion, UNRWA has raised alarm bells over the striking upsurge in the rate of school dropouts among the Palestinians of Syria, several among whom have left schools to help feeding their impoverished families in unemployment-stricken refugee camps.
