Mohammad Turko: Nearly 2.5 Million Students Have Dropped Out of School in Syria
ARK News.. Syrian Minister of Education Mohammad Turko announced that approximately 2.5 million students are currently out of school in Syria, noting that the largest share of dropouts is driven by economic factors, particularly child labor.
Turko said that addressing the issue of school dropouts in Syria requires concerted efforts between the international community and relevant Syrian government institutions, given the scale of the crisis.
He explained that the total number of dropouts is divided into several categories, with the first group comprising around 400,000 students who left school due to the lack of available educational facilities in their areas.
The minister added that school dropout rates are closely linked to economic conditions, stressing that any improvement in the economic situation would directly contribute to reducing dropout rates.
