Most of Syria’s schools have been destroyed or put out of operation in the raging warfare, imperiling the education of the Syrians and Palestinians alike. The Syrian warfare has contributed to a sharp nosepe in the rates of access to education. Hundreds of Palestinian instructors fled the Syrian territories while dozens of others who remained stranded in southern Damascus continue to teach at local schools.
Teaching staff at AlJarmak School, south of Damascus, continue to launch distress signals over their dire situation. The teachers said they have not received salaries or donations neither from UNRWA, nor from the General Commission for Palestinian Refugees, nor from the Palestine Liberation Organization nor any other concerned body for five years running despite their relentless efforts to boost the success rate, estimated at 76.3% for basic school enrollees.
Activists slammed the concerned bodies for celebrating students’ success, holding extravagant parties, and handing over financial grants of up to 50,000 Syrian Pounds to basic education enrollees while turning their back on those who have made success come true.
One of AlJarmak School supervisors once told AGPS, after the school was closed: “We’ve been doing our best to serve Yarmouk’s residents. However everybody has turned blind eyes and deaf ears to our appeals and needs.”
