CHALLENGE
Students:
School dropout rates are increasing in many crisis-affected areas due to continuous displacement and harsh living conditions for families, making it difficult to break the cycle of ignorance and ensure the continuity of education.
Teachers:
The irregular payment of teachers’ salaries is one of the main challenges, significantly affecting the sustainability of the education system and its ability to provide consistent learning.
Infrastructure:
Educational infrastructure in crisis-affected regions has been severely impacted. Many schools are now unusable due to complete or partial destruction, being repurposed for non-educational uses, or closure because of proximity to conflict zones.
Curriculum:
Schools in these areas face challenges in accessing educational curricula due to halted textbook printing or lack of resources, which weakens the role of education in promoting a culture of tolerance, instilling values of peace, and fostering equality.
