Qatar Charity (QC) has completed the second phase of the ‘Printing and Distributing School Textbooks’ project in northern Syria, with the support of the Qatar Development Fund (QFFD) as part of the ‘Quest’ initiative.
With almost 4 million textbooks printed and distributed to children, Qatar Charity has assisted 472,925 male and female students in the academic year 2019-2020.
The project is part of the ‘Improving the level of education for more than one million children’ project launched by Qatar Charity in 2017, aimed at improving education infrastructure in northern Syria and creating an appropriate environment to promote the return of children to schools.
With the completion of the second phase of the project, Qatar Charity has printed more than nine million textbooks covering all basic subjects at all levels, benefiting more than one million male and female students by the end of the academic year 2019-2020.
Abdullah Muslim, coordinator of the education programme at Qatar Charity’s office in Turkey, said the second phase met 60 per cent of the general need for textbooks in northern Syria, noting that the project was very much welcomed by all those working in the field of education.
He also added that the project was implemented in direct coordination with all education bodies and institutions in Syria, including the Office of the OCHA and the United Nations Education Cluster for Syria.
He noted that Qatar Charity printed basic subjects such as Arabic, English, mathematics (algebra and geometry), science, physics, and chemistry for arts and science students from Grade 1 to Grade 12.
Khater Al Mahmoud, head of the Idlib governorate, Northern Syria, thanked Qatar Charity and all those working on the project, underlining that the textbook is essential to education, given the poor state of education in Syria in recent years.
In the first phase of the academic year 2017/2018, Qatar Charity printed and distributed more than 5.1 million textbooks in the north-west of Syria in cooperation with educational directorates and educational complexes, addressing 55% of the needs and benefiting 600,000 male and female students.
