The struggle for education of children in the tent city in Syria

Children of families coming from various parts of the country, mostly from the Aleppo countryside, and who took refuge in camps because their homes were destroyed in the attacks of the deposed Assad regime, have been struggling to survive in tent cities for more than 6 years.

In the tent school, where educational opportunities are limited, approximately 200 students study gradually and in groups until noon.

In the tent school, where even basic educational materials are missing, volunteer teachers strive to ensure that children continue their education despite the difficulties.

Children who attend classes despite the unfavorable physical conditions and hot weather are preparing for the future by continuing their education despite all the difficulties.

Stating that he has been studying at the tent school for 6 years, Ali Hasan Nassar said, "Today was the first day of school and I am very happy. I have been studying at this time for six years. I want to be a teacher in the future. When school is not in session, I work at a motorcycle repair shop. I wish our school was a concrete building, it would be warmer in winter." he said.

11-year-old Rami Mahir Ganim, a 5th grade student, also stated that he wanted his school to have a concrete building and said, "This way, it would be warmer in winter and cooler in summer." he said.

Noting that he was happy to reunite with his friends after the schools opened, Ganim said, "Being with my friends every time I come to school makes me feel very good." he said.
