We are delighted to have been awarded a contract by the British Council to research and scope out an achievable strategy for improving the quality education of displaced Syrian students living within Syria’s borders. We have been commissioned to research and develop a strategy and practical programme to both build local capacity and establish operational partnerships with local organisations to deliver a programme of learning for those students displaced within Syria due to the ongoing civil war. Our work will include the development of workable solutions in building an infrastructure and programme to improve the life chances of children, many who have experienced the kind of traumatic events that we hope our own children will never have to face in a lifetime. Our programme will involve work in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.
