In Lebanon alone, there are currently 1,176,971 registered Syrian refugees and approximately 53,070 Palestinian refugees from Syria... Sadly, due to bureaucratic red-tape and language boundaries, the dropout rate for Syrian students in Lebanese public schools is approximately 70 percent. Illustrating one reason for this statistic, one Syrian mother noted that she desperately wanted her 9-year old, Mazin, to attend school but that he was “humiliated and beaten there.” Mazin reported that Lebanese students targeted him because he was behind, especially in science and math. These subjects are taught in Arabic in Syria, but in English or French in Lebanon. merip.org/educational-aftershocks-syrian-refugees-lebanon
