Syrian Children And Education : Addressing The Tcc Community

A refugee is a person who was forced to leave their country. Whether it be from warfare or natural disaster, their homes are no longer safe to live in, so they need to relocate elsewhere. Once someone sets foot on the journey of becoming a refugee, they become vulnerable and dependent with no sense of what the future will bring. In an attempt to accommodate them, first world countries with the resources necessary to assist these refugees, are struggling to determine whether or not they should step-in and help. Some argue that taking them in could come with excessive consequences, while others believe they could be assets. Although there may be a few consequences, they are outweighed by the benefits and undeniable severity of the situation.

The Syrian Civil War has had a profound effect of all Syrians as well as neighbouring countries and the international community. With more than 11 million homeless Syrians comes consequences beyond what most of the world population has ever experienced or anticipated. Of the displaced, almost 5 million are refugees outside Syria and around 6 million have been displaced inside Syria, with half of all displaced Syrians being children. The main causes of displacement amongst the population is the violence committed by all sides of the war, and which often targets civilians or centres of high civilian activity (such as markets, hospitals, schools, workplaces or high density residential areas). One main group heavily affected by the conflict

Philanthropy and volunteerism are embedded in our Syrian heritage. The family-oriented system is prevalent in our Syrian culture, and for that we are all responsible for the wellbeing of the entire community. Many of the things that we do to simply help our families, our friends, and our communities are considered volunteering or paid jobs by Western standards. We in the U.S are very fortunate, and we sometimes forget that there are many people who need guidance that we are capable of giving. Our blessings, successes, and gifts of freedom and liberty should excite us to serve fellow man. At present, thousands of Syrian refugees are expected to come into the U.S as their homeland had been ripped open by the civil war. We ought to use our political

But they don’t have the resources to help every single child. The world’s richest countries encourage refugees to stay in the region instead of coming to Europe, but will not provide the funding border countries need to deal with the crisis. Adequately.”(Yousafzai and Almellehan). This is important because Syrian students need a proper education, but the other countries just don’t have all the resources to help. Which will lead to them to not get jobs to support their family,getting married too young , etc. Essentially, many students are still not in a school, and will never learn the things to make this world better. For example,“Education for Syrian children has become a casualty of war, school enrollment rates have fallen drastically, not only in Syria but among children who have fled (Fleming). In addition “border countries like Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt and Iraq are opening their doors and their schools to Syrian children”(Yousafzai and Almellehan). This is really serious because of

Despite this, annual teacher stipends are the first budget cut that school turn to when attempting to make for yearly cashflow shortages. This presents an opportunity for concern citizens and individual that advocate for the education of children to make a difference. An easy way that charitable citizens can help is to buy the same school supplies that they buy for their own children and donate them to a local teacher. The teacher will make sure that the supplies find their way to a child in need of school supplies. Concerned parents and citizens can also make a difference can donating to the Office Depot National Backpack Program. Another organization that helps disadvantaged children is The International Rescue Committee, which helps refugee children just entering the United States educational system. They also perform other charitable

Since March 2011 to September 2016 there has been an estimated amount of 11 million Syrians who had to flee from their homes, because of the war. That is about 4305 people per day who have to evacuate their homes. This includes men, women, and young children, who are seeking for safety. However even when they make it to the camps, they are not safe. Having little to no food, sickness, rape, and terrorist. Lily Lousada state that in Jordan refugee camps , “To many familiar with the berm, the attack was not surprising.” because so many people are being hurt. These people are trying to seek for shelter, but the people they are running from are still attacking. While in the United States most people live on their daily live, going to work, school, going out to eat, or being able to sleep without having to worry about being killed in your

Syria's civil war has been the worst humanitarian crisis of our time. With more than 250,000 people who have died in this violent outbreak in Syria during 2011. During the course of the civil war at least 11 million people out of a 22 million populated country have fled their homes. Many families in Syria are struggling to make life for themselves, or even other neighboring countries. While others are risking their lives on the way to Europe, hoping to find acceptance and opportunity. And the onset of harsh winter weather makes life as a refugee even more difficult. At times, the effects of the conflict can seem overwhelming. Although one simple fact is true, these Syrian refugees need our help. And as a country that inserted a resettlement we should contribute more into helping these refugees. But the United states governors fear of terrorism could cost the extent of our aid to be limited.

As the humanitarian agencies focus on providing for these basic needs, Syria’s development situation has regressed almost by four decades in four years. Since the onset of the crisis in 2011, life expectancy is estimated to have shortened by almost 13 years (Q4, 2013) and school attendance dropped more than 50%. Syria has also seen reversals in all 12 recorded Millennium Development Goal (MDG) indicators. The Syrian economy has contracted by an estimated 40% since 2011, leading to the majority of Syrians losing their livelihoods. By the end of 2013, an estimated three in four Syrians were living in poverty, and 54% were living in extreme

Syria’s civil war is the worst humanitarian crisis of our time, over 6 million people have been killed or forced to flee their homes (MercyCorps). These Syrian refugees are everyday people which include families, children, and the elderly who have no choice but to leave their violent surroundings and struggle to make a home in neighboring countries. While some countries like Lebanon,

Provision of educational resources (as many have not had the opportunity) for the refugee children;

Imagine this scenario: the country you live in is under a gruesome civil war, thousands of civilians are caught in the crossfire and death is everywhere. This is the traumatic reality for millions of Syrians. There are only two options, either you stay and try to survive, or you leave and hope for the best. Both options are dangerous and can lead to your demise. After Syrians escape from their country and reach another destination it does not mean they will be able to live a normal life. For this same reason, if I had the resources I would aid displaced Syrians in order for them to reach a state of normalcy.

Syrian refugee crisis threatens the beginning of the upcoming school year in Lebanon.Lebanon, with a population of around four million and a territory smaller than Maryland, is hosting over a million Syrian refugees. The arrival of such a number of refugees has shaken Lebanon, and made its education and health system particularly unstable. According to UNHCR, 172,000 refugee and vulnerable local children will not receive any kind of education during this school year in Lebanon. Furthermore, as UNHCR predicts, the quality of the education will diminish due to the over-crowding of schools, as past experience shows. And if this situation was not enough, the refugees that managed to integrate into the Lebanese schooling system will have to face a large linguistic barrier, since 93% of public schools in Lebanon teach classes in French, whilst in Syria they are taught almost exclusively in

It makes children vulnerable to disease and malnutrition to violence and exploitation. 1 in 10 children, approximately 230 million children, live in countries affected by conflict, while 20 million children are displaced due to ongoing disputes. Around 28 million children are not educated because of armed conflict. Many MPs warn that Britain’s international standing on humanitarian work is at stake because UK has not created a basic strategy to help children affected by war, the UK has failed to meet its moral and political obligation to tens of millions of children caught up in conflict zones across the world. Yet, the UK has contributed £1 billion to aid Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan. £100 million package was sent to Syria and £40 million was sent to the region surrounding Syria. Lebanon’s support will include psychosocial consultations for children and safe spaces for children which will offer a place to play, study, and spend the

Children in Syria fall victim to such cruel living conditions causing numerous health issues and even death. Soldiers also tend to manipulate small children into learning the ways of war. Hundreds of children will never get to live out their lives in the same ways Americans do. Syria, being such a depleted country full of suffering, provides little to no source of education for

Despite the efforts of parents to keep traditions alive, children are changing, fighting over food, clothing and anything of any value. Many children feel like they are prisoners in their host countries. Many are not allowed to leave their homes due to safety concerns and chores that need to be completed. Twenty-nine percent of Syrian refugees leave their home less than once a week.
