The Palestinian Red Crescent Organization has held educational courses for Palestinian refugee students in Hindarat Camp, north of Syria.
The move comes in response to Palestinians’ lack of access to education services and the increasing school dropouts due to protracted displacement, absence of transportation means, and war-inflicted psychological distress.
Extreme poverty, child labor, early marriage, and enforced disappearance are among the factors that have led to an increase in school dropouts among the camp residents.
Palestinian refugee families have frequently denounced the inadequate educational services and poor-quality input delivered children at local schools.
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.
Several UNRWA facilities were destroyed in the Syrian warfare and others have gone out of operation, including two clinics, a vocational training center, a youth development center, and 28 schools, out of 112 UNRWA schools in Syria. Other education facilities have been turned into prisons or field hospitals, imperiling Palestinians’ academic careers.
