Education in Syria Webcast
This webcast on the situation of education in Syria, especially in Dara’a, Idlib, and Aleppo featured a review of the literature carried out by RTI for USAID in late 2016. The content and discussion focus on three important issues:
- The key inputs that make an education system function.
- The education delivery systems inside Syria (how they differ in Syrian-government-controlled areas, Syrian-Interim-Government-(SIG)-controlled areas, and other areas under the control of ISIS or unknown actors).
- The international community’s response to the crisis.
