What opportunities are available to children who remain out of school or leave school unable to read. write. or perform basic arithmetic? Sadly. we know these children face a greatly increased risk of abuse at the hands of traffickers. early marriage or forced marriage. and recruitment by criminal or terrorist organizations. Nowhere is this harsh reality more clear than in Syria. where an estimated 4 million Syrian children are currently out of school. Inside Syria. these children are being shaped by violence and a lack of alternatives that place them at a high risk of exploitation and of radicalization. As refugees. they are placing tremendous pressure on the education systems of countries like Lebanon. Jordan. Turkey.
