In Lebanon, more than 50 students among the Palestinians of Syria confirmed that their educational fate is on the line and at stake, as they will not be able to register and Join the Lebanese universities, because of Lebanese General Security refused to renew their residency permits under the pretext that there was a verbal decision not to renew for Palestinian Syrians who entered the Lebanese territory after the fifth month of 2014.
They also stressed that all of them have entered Lebanon since 2012, noting that they had traveled to Syria to perform the high school exams, and that was coordinated between the Council of churches Institute in Sidon, the PLO, and the Palestinian embassy in Lebanon on the one hand, and the Lebanese General Security On the other hand.
The students appealed to all stakeholders, the PLO, and the Palestinian factions in Lebanon to put pressure on the Lebanese government to renew their residency and not to deprive them from registration in the Lebanese universities, because one of the conditions of registration is to renew the residence.
It is noteworthy that there are about 600 Palestinian Syrian students in the preparatory and high school students suffered from the same problem and some of them could not complete their educational process as a result of the unfair legal conditions set by the Lebanese government on the entry of Palestinian Syrian refugees to its territory, and because of the decision of banning the entry of Palestinian refugees from Syria to Lebanon, and the consequent legal problems and crises.
For their part, activists demanded the Lebanese state to humanitarianly deal with the students and to take the necessary procedures and facilities to ensure they renew their residency, enabling them to register in Lebanese universities. They also called on UNRWA and the PLO to assume full responsibility towards the Palestinian refugee students from Syria and find appropriate and quick solutions to save their educational futures.
