Education chief in Yarmouk Camp, Walid AlKurdi called on students enrolled at AlJarmak School in Yalda town, south of Damascus, to join classes at the girls’ school.
AlKurdi said classes will kick off on September 25 under the supervision of the General Authority for Palestinian Arab Refugees and UNRWA.
Students taking shelter in Yarmouk Camp have been shorn of their right to education as no alternative school has been opened by UNRWA in southern Damascus.
Endeavors to open alternative schools in Yarmouk saw the day in the 2013-14 academic year following joint efforts by residents and instructors. Such schools as Damascus School, in AlThalatheen Street, AlAzma School, west of Yarmouk, and AlJarmak School, in AlMadaris Street, were opened to bridge the gap. However, the schools shut their doors soon after due to the lack of proper funding and the absence of long-term teaching staff.
