Qatar Charity has implemented three educational projects in co-ordination with the Syrian Committee for Education “Science”, including printing textbooks and curricula, providing school supplies, reconstructing schools and organising training for teachers and provide them with support.
Qatar Charity said in a press release yesterday that hundreds of thousands of Syrian students, refugees and displaced persons, have benefited from these projects in implementation of the agreements signed on the sidelines of the first International Conference held in Istanbul, under the title “Syria and Education.. Reality and Challenges” funded by Qatar Charity and organised by the Syrian Commission for Education “Science”.
The first project aims at ensuring the educational needs for schools in some areas inside Syria by providing them with scientific textbooks (mathematics, physics, chemistry and science).
The number of books printed in the framework of this project amounted to QR2,264,500 distributed for 366,000 students in Syria, in addition to the Syrian students in Turkish schools and the refugee camps covering all stages of education and scientific disciplines and taking into account compliance with the Syrian curriculum before the crisis.
The second project is designed to support and equip schools by means of education in order to follow up the educational process at the Syrian schools in the Turkish territory at all academic levels with a cost of QR 750,000.
The third project, which amounted to QR1.5mn, is designed to restore and maintain destroyed schools in the city of Aleppo and Latakia in order to seek continuation of the educational process for Syrian students.
Syrian refugee children hold aloft books provided by Qatar Charity.
