| 説明 | "As a head teacher, regardless of the nationality of the pupil, you deal with them as a child who needs education", says Ehssan Aragi, principal at the Bar Elias school in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. The school is supported by UK aid and UNICEF to help accommodate Syrian refugee students.Like many schools in Lebanon, Bar Elias now runs a morning shift for Lebanese and Syrian refugee students and an evening shift allocated just for Syrian refugees. The curriculum has been amended to help the Syrian students integrate into the Lebanese system. "In the end the students are all children," says Ehssan. "They play the same games, eat the same meals, walk the same way home. So after a while they get used to their situation and adjust to it. Since 2012 it’s improved and there are some students who have got excellent marks and they keep up with their studies very easily".BackgroundToday, around 500,000 Syrian refugee children live in Lebanon - forced to flee the crisis in their homeland, and to leave their school behind.But in the last year alone, more than 200,000 were brought back into school – thanks to a Lebanese government enrolment programme, backed by UK aid and UNICEF.There is more to be done: we must ensure all refugee children get an education to avoid a lost generation of Syrian children.Getting every Syrian refugee and host community child back into education by the end of the 2016-17 school year is a key aim of the Supporting Syria and the Region conference on 4 February. The conference is being co-hosted in London by the UK, Germany, Kuwait, Norway, and the United Nations.For more information please visit www.supportingsyria2016.comPicture: Adam Patterson/Panos/DFID------------------------------------------------------Free-to-use photoThis image is posted under a Creative Commons - Attribution Licence, in accordance with the Open Government Licence.
