In south Damascus, hundreds of students of Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees are suffering from the halt of the educational facilities inside the camp, as a result of the siege and the bombardments targeting the cam, in addition to ISIS’s banning of the alternative schools inside the camp.
According to our correspondent in Yarmouk camp, the only choice left for the students of the camp is to enroll in the alternative schools in the neighboring town of Yelda, despite the distance and the tightening procedures they are exposed to at ISIS’s checkpoints.
There are about three alternative schools in Yelda, which welcome hundreds of students from Yarmouk camp. They are Jarmac Alternative School, Al-Damashqeya School and Al-Owda School.
The schools are funded by the relief organizations in south Damascus. The relief organizations also provide the educational equipment, part of the teachers’ salaries and heating materials.
The school books are provided in coordination with the General Authority for Palestinian Arab Refugees outside the camp, which coordinates in order to allow the entry of the books to the schools inside.
A number of the alternative schools suffer from economic crises and the continuous absence of support, forcing some of its teachers to teach voluntarily, to maintain the educational process inside them.
