After being displaced by war in their home country, for many Syrian refugee children in Lebanon, enrollment in Lebanese public schools is their only chance to continue their accredited education. As early as 2012, the Lebanese Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) generously opened the doors of Lebanese public schools for Syrian refugee students. This has given Syrian children the valuable opportunity to continue their education.
