<p>The UK remains at the forefront of the humanitarian response to the Syria crisis, which includes providing life-saving and life-changing support to millions of Syrians who have taken refuge in neighbouring countries. Working with the governments of neighbouring countries, including Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, our assistance is focused on the most vulnerable Syrian refugees in the region, including children, to meet their immediate needs and improve their lives until they can safely return to Syria.</p><p> </p><p>Education is a key part of this work. We rely on regular assessment of education needs and learning outcomes, from implementing partners and UN agencies, in order to inform our decisions around our education response in the region. As a result, DFID funded partners in the region are providing educational activities, and child friendly spaces where children receive learning support and psychosocial care, both within refugee camps and in host communities. Overall, in 2017/18 alone, DFID’s support provided over 584,000 children in the region with access to quality education.</p> |
