Syrian Palestinian students in Lebanon are facing unprecedented challenges as the 2024-2025 school year begins with a remote learning system, which was approved by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) as a temporary solution under exceptional circumstances characterized by deteriorating security due to ongoing Israeli bombardment of several Lebanese areas.
These challenges include the lack of electronic devices and internet services, the difficulty of providing a suitable educational environment amidst housing overcrowding and poverty, in addition to the digital gap that prevents many students and parents from dealing with modern technology.
Students also suffer from psychological problems due to the frustration and social isolation imposed by remote learning, which threatens their academic and social development.
Live testimonies from several families confirmed the severity of these challenges, as Umm Ahmad struggles to provide electronic devices for her four children, Ghassan cannot afford the cost of the internet, and Umm Khalil suffers from the lack of a quiet study space in her crowded home.
In the face of these difficulties, families are demanding that UNRWA distribute electronic devices and free internet services and provide the necessary technical support to ensure the continuity of the educational process under these challenging circumstances.
These calls reflect the suffering of thousands of students who need urgent intervention to save their educational future amid the current conditions that Lebanon and the region are experiencing in general.
