Syria’s children return to school after 14 years of conflictDAMASCUS, Syria, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This month marks a turning point for Syria’s children. After more than a decade of crisis and disrupted education, a powerful shift is underway—a movement to bring children not just back into classrooms, but back into hope and opportunity. Syria’s protracted conflict has created a complex web of humanitarian, economic, and social challenges. Millions of children have been exposed to violence, displacement, and trauma. The economy has been devastated, with 90% of Syrians living in poverty, widespread unemployment, and soaring food prices leaving 9.3 million people food insecure. These combined factors create significant barriers for children to access safe, quality education and rebuild their futures. The Back-to-Learning campaign highlights not only a return to classrooms, but a renewed commitment to education as the cornerstone of recovery. The Global Partnership for Education (GPE) along with UNICEF and Save the Children have supported out-of-school children and those at risk of dropping out through non-formal education pathways.
