Thanks to Kuwait, thanks to its benevolent people, thanks to the IICO. These were moving expressions of gratitude and praise that came out of hearts rather than being uttered, expressed by officials of Kuwait Charity Schools in Lebanon. These include “Kuwait Al-Hikma, Kuwait Al-Fajr, Kuwait Al-Khair, Kuwait Al-Ataa and Kuwait Al-Nour” School teachers and children students of Syrian refugees, at the end of the school year 2021-2022. They all appreciated the role of IICO in supporting their schools and sponsoring more than 2500 students in the kindergarten, primary and middle stages.
In this context, IICO received a package of final reports, administrative and media, videos and photos on the outcomes and results of its sponsorship for Syrian students during the past school year. These reports reveal the success of the school year in achieving its objectives and the joy of administrators, teachers and students about the educational deliverables despite the various challenges.
The reports pointed to the success of the educational process at the curriculum level, the attendance regularity of students, the dedication of teachers to delivery and teaching, and the interaction of students with the curricula.
In the context of the strategic initiative “Nobough”, which aims to provide quality educational opportunities for the most needy groups, IICO has sponsored the children of Syrian refugees in Kuwait Charity Schools in Lebanon, in cooperation with the Humanitarian Excellence Society that supervises the schools.
These students had taken refuge in Lebanon with their families to escape the hell of war that deprived them of the rights to a decent living, education, security and safety.
In support of academic achievement, Kuwaiti schools provide students with an integrated learning and pedagogical environment that enables them to practice all their classroom and extra-curricular activities with passion and pleasure, as well as providing them with all the necessary needs to help them achieve academically.
Schools are interested in providing psychological support to Syrian children in light of the difficult conditions they are suffering due to asylum and the war that has swept their country, as part of their keenness to support their educational and future careers.
The literature of these schools address building a Syrian generation on a correct scientific and religious basis, refining and developing students’ talents, instilling a spirit of work, taking responsibility, respecting the rights of others, the meanings of good citizenship, values, morals and good concepts in the hearts of the student.
Schools are also keen to reduce school dropouts, combat the phenomenon of child begging, eliminate acquired bad habits, preserve the student’s Arab Islamic identity, integrate Syrian students into Lebanese society well and effectively, protect children from labor and exploitation, discover, refine and develop student talents and provide job opportunities for educational competencies.
The cost of sponsorship per student is about KD 65 for a full school year, including all basic needs such as school uniforms, stationery, registration fees and books.
The schools provide 156 job opportunities for experienced and competent teachers and administrators who have been deprived of work and a decent life by war conditions and turned into unemployed.
In addition, IICO, in partnership with the Islamic Development Bank, the Islamic Fund for Development, the Society for Humanitarian Excellence and long-standing academic institutions in Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon, continues its efforts to support the educational system of Syrian refugees, through the project of building compensatory programs for learning difficulties in the school curricula to qualify teachers, support educational institutions in emergency situations and address the problems of students.
The project also aims to design compensatory programs for learning difficulties in the curricula of Syrian refugees to reduce the phenomenon of school dropout in the countries of “Lebanon, Jordan, Northern Syria” with the participation of experts, academics, coordinators, teachers and researchers.
The number of children of Syrian refugees deprived of education exceeds two and a half million children. What they study in some schools may not qualify as proper education, whether at the curriculum level, unqualified schools, or an unattractive environment.
It is worth mentioning that the Kuwait Charity Schools, which were established in 2013 to accommodate about 10,000 students from Syrian refugees, was the motivation to launch this project, study learning problems and difficulties, and develop educational curricula in emergency situations.
The strategic directions of IICO focus on the file of education in the countries and regions most in need as part of its relentless quest to build and empower the human being and develop his abilities and skills, so that he has the elements of positive impact in his society.
It is noteworthy that IICO was recently able to provide 7 schools in Lebanon with a renewable and environmentally friendly solar energy system, in order to provide a suitable educational environment for about 13,000 students, in light of the suffocating economic crisis suffered by the people of Lebanon and frequent power cuts.
