BEIRUT — A leading international human rights group warned on Tuesday that more than half of the nearly 500,000 school-age Syrian children registered in Lebanon do not go to school or receive any formal education.
Human Rights Watch said that although Lebanon has allowed Syrian refugee children to enrol for free in public schools, limited resources and residency issues, as well as work restrictions on their parents, are keeping the kids away from school.
