The lost generation: Children in conflict zones (Adel Abdel Ghafar, Fraus Masri, Al Jazeera)

Increased funding could build temporary schools, revitalise the curriculum, and train more teachers to handle the influx of children, write Ghafar and Masri [Reuters]

A catastrophic by-product of ongoing conflicts in the Middle East is a lost generation of unschooled children. These children find themselves, through no fault of their own, not only displaced but lacking the opportunity for proper schooling and thus, denied a chance to learn and develop the necessary skills to become fully functional members of society. This lost generation is the tragedy of our time
