Blog 10: The Amazing Story of How a School in Syria Stays Open


Since March 2011, the Syrian Revolution has developed into an all-our civil war as many areas which has created citizens with the opposite control to get back on their feet and re-establish services such as education.  This article goes into the government owned village of Idlib Province, Syria to investigate the up and running schools in the area.  The school of five hundred students has struggled to stay open, though the teachers and staff have made this institution a high priority for the children.  The school principal and thirty-two of the teachers have “declined to be named for fear the government may target them if they know the school is operating.”  The learning environment takes place in a dark and overcrowded classroom where each student must share a limited number of schoolbooks.  Desperate times call for desperate measures where the teachers and students must concentrate only on the necessary subjects to get through to the next year., needless of the constant bombing within the village. 

With this article, it is frustrating and heartbreaking to see the students, families, teachers, and villagers to go through this terrifying period with limited control.  The title of this article is truly accurate in note that it is amazing how determined the community is to give the students the opportunity of education that they need.  The school is accepting not only children from the other schools that remain closed, but also hundreds of refugees living in the village. The parents are very involved in this struggle and have been volunteering to work at the school without salary.
