Right now in Syria, over 2.4 million children have been forced out of school, and nearly 40 percent are girls. Children with access to education must deal with overcrowded classrooms, a lack of resources to provide quality education, and buildings with insufficient electricity, heating, ventilation, water, and sanitation.
High school graduates are unable to find options to pursue higher education because of the bombardment of thousands of schools. One in three schools cannot be used because they have been damaged, destroyed, or seized.

SRD Trainings
In order to address the Education vacuum in Syria
SRD provides vocational training to beneficiaries along with necessary education to humanitarian aid workers in the sectors of health, protection, and early recovery. With 2.4 million children out of school and 1.6 million at risk of dropping out,” education remains a critically neglected sector with both short-term and long-term implications for Syria’s youth, aspiring workforce, and for those who have been forced into the role of primary breadwinner due to the conflict, particularly women and children. The continued provision of informal education coupled with more formal initiatives to train and equip individuals with the tools and resources to overcome difficulties in both the short and long-term.
