Around 90% of school-age children in the 25 state-run refugee camps in Turkey attend school regularly. However, these children constitute only 13% of all school-age Syrian children in Turkey, since most Syrian children live outside the refugee camps, in towns and villages, and their attendance rate is much lower. In 2014-2015, only 25% of this population attended school. Around 485,000 children still have no access to education.
708,000 of the over 2 million Syrian asylum seekers in Turkey are at school-age.
UNICEF estimates that in total, around 3million Syrian children cannot attend school.
In the academic year 2014-2015, only 212,000 of these were enrolled at primary and junior high schools.
