AGPS kept record of a sharp nosepe in access to education for Palestinians sheltered in displacement camps and communities across war-torn Syria.
Most of UNRWA’s schools have been destroyed or put out of operation in the raging warfare. Other education facilities have been turned into prisons or field hospitals, imperiling Palestinians’ academic careers.
The situation is worse for displaced Palestinian families taking shelter north of Syria. Classrooms established in the area are made up of poorly equipped tents that are not fit to study in and risk to fall into pieces in the winter season. Neither professional training staff nor proper furniture are available at the schools.
AGPS continues to appeal to the Palestine Liberation Organization and UNRWA, among all concerned international 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 Syria.
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 left schools to help feeding their impoverished families in unemployment-stricken refugee camps.
