Approximately 35,884 Syrian refugee students in Egypt have finished national exams for basic and secondary education under the UNHCR’s joint capacity building program with the Education Ministry as of June 2017, according to a Relief Web report (pdf). Around one third of Syrian refugees of school age in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt and Iraq are not enrolled in schools, UN officials tell the Associated Press. This comes as a result of pledge shortfalls by donors who have only met 25% of the USD 8 bn target set by the UN for education in overburdened host countries.
