NEEDS ANALYSIS:
29, 158 syrian children (6-14 years) are enrolled in schools:
There are an estimated 76,405 school age children (3-17) among the refugee population. Enrolment of refugee children remains low at all levels of education. At the ECD level only 3.6 percent are enrolled. The enrollment rate is 54 percent in the basic education. There are still disparities within the camp and non-camp settings with school children in camps showing 73% enrolment. In the non-camp setting however the enrolment is only 43 percent. For those that complete basic education, education opportunities remain bleak with only 3 percent having access to secondary education
In Camps: out of 19,513, %75 (14,549) enrolled.
In host communities in KR-I: out of 22,611, %65 (14,646) enrolled.
JANUARY HIGHLIGHTS: The second semester for the current academic year 2014-2015 started on 21 Jan 2015. Overall there are 76,405 school age children between the ages of 3-17 years. Currently 29,534 students are enrolled in formal education, 14,888 in camp settings and 14,646 in non-camp settings. 5,990 students are benefitting from non-formal education activities which include alternative education and recreational activities. An additional 748 children between ages of 3 to 5 are benefiting from Early Childhood Care and development (ECCD) activities in Erbil and Dahuk.
There are a large number of school aged children who have no access to education. Support is urgently required to bring those children back to school. Bridging/catch-up classes need to be up scaled as a pathway into the formal school system for children who have interrupted their formal education. There remains a shortage of the Syrian teachers in both camp and non-camp schools. More teachers need to be hired in order to cover all lessons in the required curriculum. Overcrowding of classes is also affecting the provision of quality education in most host communities. Cluster partners are working to establish more schools to mitigate this issue.
Schooling has started in the two new camp school buildings of Darashakran and Kawragosk thus reducing the three shifts to two shifts and increasing studying hours from 2.5 hours to 4 hours. Another 4,930 students Darashakran, Kawragosk and Qushtapa camp schools received winter uniforms. The supply items were made locally by refugee women in the camps. An additional 251 students benefited from teaching and learning materials in camp and non-camp settings. An additional 148 teachers in host community and camp schools were trained in healing classroom methodology which is designed to create safe and healing classrooms for children and youth affected by conflict so they may fully benefit from Education. Training was provided for 20 education personnel engaged in alternative learning and ECCD activities on Quality Learning Environment (QLE) workshops to guide quality implementation and further enhance learning environments.

Enrollment in School
There are limited service providers for ECCD for children aged 3-5 and secondary education in the refugee camps. Additional financial support and space is required to expand ECCD programming and secondary education in camp settings. School in Domiz Refugee Camp, KR-Iraq - Duhok, UNHCR/ R. Rasheed
Finally, community participation in camp schools needs to be strengthened to ensure that the communities engage with the education of their children.
