| description | Since the beginning of the turmoil in
Syria, more than one million Syrians have been forced to
leave their country and find refuge in Lebanon, a small
neighboring country with limited resources and its own
political, social and economic challenges. This report
presents the findings of a pilot study that follows the
Education Resilience Approaches (ERA) framework (Reyes
2013). The purpose of the research is to discover the
different risks, assets, and processes that influence the
learning achievement of Syrian refugee children trying to
access education services in Lebanon. The difficulties that
confront Syrian children in the Lebanese education system
are not simply due to the difference in languages of
instruction as it seems to be at a first glance. This study
reveals how many children could overcome the language
barrier through traditional and simple means such as
extracurricular language instruction and proper support.
The study also reveals that the feelings of discrimination
and exclusion felt by Lebanese peers are often the result of
individual and communal apprehension and not necessarily the
result of real incident (except minor ones). |
