Inside Syrian Refugee Schools: Syrian Children in Germany (Sarah Dryden-Peterson, Elizabeth Adelman, Martina Nieswandt, Brookings)

Posted on the main entrance to a small village school in Germany is a plain piece of paper with clear black writing. It requests the help of school families to provide for the “new arrivals,” to please send in coats and shoes. At this school, the new arrivals are 14 refugees and asylum seekers. The paper is covered in its entirely with tape, making it waterproof and durable. It is not going anywhere soon

Inside Syrian refugee schools: Making room for refugees in second shifts (Sarah Dryden-Peterson, Elizabeth Adelman, Brookings)

Five years ago, the state of Lebanon’s public education system was rarely a topic of discussion. In fact, less than one-third of the country’s children enroll in public school (around 300,000 students a year). However, since the start of the Syrian conflict the demand for education in Lebanon’s government schools has increased significantly. An estimated 360,000 school-aged refugee children have fled into Lebanon from Syria and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees share a goal of integrating them into public schools. To cope with the massive influx of young people, the MEHE has adopted the strategy of “second shifts” for refugee children. This year, 160 of Lebanon’s 1,350 public schools are operating both a morning shift—primarily, but not exclusively for Lebanese children—and an afternoon shift for Syrian refugee children.

Inside Syrian Refugee Schools: Teachers struggle to create conditions for learning (Sarah Dryden-Peterson, Elizabeth Adelman, Brookings)

The Irada Valley School sits deep within Lebanon’s fertile Bekaa Valley. Visit on a sunny day and the view from the rooftop is equal parts stunning and sobering: expansive blue skies, emerald green fields, majestic mountains, and hundreds of tattered, disintegrating tents. These temporary shelters are home to over a thousand Syrian refugee families, the majority of whom do not have access to public schools. Of the more than 360,000 refugee children (aged 5 to 17) living in Lebanon, 49 percent are out of school.
