Students’ academic results and achievements have gone downhill in Khan Dannun Camp for Palestinian refugees due to the traumatic fallouts of the conflict raging in Syria for over a decade.
Overcrowded classrooms, the lack of teaching staff (many of them have been arrested and/or tortured), along with the absence of school furniture and educational aids have made teaching/learning quite a challenging task in Syria.
Several schoolchildren have dropped out of school due to long shifts, which last for over nine hours daily in an area where the conflict has a heavy toll on students’ intellectual output and psychological wellbeing. In 2016, success rates at schools have seen a 30% decrease.
The pandemic outbreak has added bad to worse as classes have been interrupted regularly.
