There remain disparities in the provision of education activities between camp and non -camp settings. While 97 % of children (6-14) are attending schools in camps only 49% of the same age are attending schools outside of camps. Access to high schools for Syrian Refugee children remains a huge gap both in camp and non -camp settings. The Education sector is working with the relevant DoEs in Duhok to advocate for more support to children in secondary education. Only 5% of children between 15 – 17 years of age are attending formal education. Continuing financial constraints have resulted in the KRG Ministry of Finance is no longer able to provide salaries of teachers. For example, in Sulaymaniyah there is a shortage of refugee teachers in camp and non camp settings as the DOE has not prepared the official paperwork for teachers to start teaching relating to lack of funds for refugee teachers. This on-going situation has significantly impacted the provision of education for the start of the new school year, with schools without sufficient teachers and support personnel in refugee schools in camps and non-camp settings. Additionally, teachers and students remain without educational supplies, and students do not have uniforms. The Education Sector is coordinating with UN Agencies, UNICEF, UNHCR, UNESCO and the MoE to find a solution for this issue.
