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.

COMMITMENT

Therefore, YIAD strives to ensure that every student has the opportunity to succeed through access to quality education.

YIAD also pays special attention to displaced, marginalized, and refugee children.

YIAD believes that improving opportunities for general, vocational, and higher education can only be achieved through the collective efforts of individuals, institutions, and organizations.
