Ensuring Learning Pathways and Protection for Syrian Children and Youth

Participants at the London Conference set the ambitious goal of reaching all out-of-school children inside Syria, all school-age Syrian refugee children in the five host countries, as well as affected host-community children, with learning opportunities. Education funding of US$1.4 billion per year was requested in order to fulfil this goal. Two years after London, and ahead of the second conference in Brussels in April 2018, this report presents the consensus of No Lost Generation (NLG) partners, humanitarian and development actors, donors, and affected governments on:
• the extent to which NLG partners are fulfilling their commitment to provide learning opportunities for all Syrian children, as well as vulnerable children in host communities;
• the key strategies required to reach those children who are still out of school or out of other forms of recognized learning; and
• what needs to be done differently in the years to come in order to secure learning pathways for all children and youth affected by the crisis.
