REPORT SUBMITTAL OF THE WORKSHOP FOR DIALOGUE BETWEEN
TURKISH AND SYRIAN EDUCATORS FOR EDUCATING
THE CHILDREN OF SYRIAN REFUGEE FAMILIES
2. Firstly, we would like to thank the Turkish people and government for
the support they provide for Syrian people, both in general and
especially education.
This workshop is targeted towards the students who are at a very
inļ¬uential age and to help prevent behavioral abnormalities and to
stop them from joining any radical military organizations.
In essence, our target is to improve the all aspects of education at all
levels, and provide education for all school-age children (under 18).
Currently, approximately 3 million Syrians are living in Turkey and 1.5
million of this are under 18 years old. Unfortunately, only 350
thousand of these children attend to school (a quarter of this are
registered to state schools). The signiļ¬cant value of administration in
the education system and supporting international organizations is
paramount. Our aim here is to identify the issues that hinder the
education process, considering management as one of these issues.
In this work, we analyzed the education provided to the children
Syrian refugees under three headings.
These are:
1) The Management of Education System
2)Syrian Educators
3)Curriculum in Temporary Education Centers (TEC)
INTRODUCTION
3. 1/ MANAGEMENT
THE MAIN TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED IN THE WORKSHOP REGARDING ADMINISTRATION ARE:
1) General administration and the various branches
2) Educational administration
3) School administration
4) Classroom administration
5) Characteristics of a successful administration
4. ISSUES THAT HINDER THE EDUCATION PROCESS:
1) The absence of official representatives of education such as the Minister of Education in the Syrian provisional
government.
2) Restriction of the Syrian role in participating in the decision making process concerning the education system for Syrians
and narrowing its authority to only receiving orders.
3) The absence of the educational department centers, with highly-qualiļ¬ed, experienced specialists of high qualiļ¬cations
and experience supervising the educational process and taking a part in the decisions making process.
4) Having the privet Syrians schools controlled by their managers in making decisions because of owning a capital.
5) Recruitment of educators without considering their lack of experience or qualiļ¬cations.
6) Acting as if having private ownerships for certain schools relying on ļ¬nancial sponsorship, where sponsors assume the
authority to allow hiring of acquaintances and relatives, that leads to inexperienced type of management.
7) Lack of any training system for educators despite the (limited) efforts done by some organizations.

5. SUGGESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS FOR THE ISSUES THAT HINDER EDUCATION IN TURKEY:

1) Recruitment for educators without a net legal procedure: without considering their of lack of experience and
qualiļ¬cations.
2) Educators try to provide education while being under oppressive control of the school principals due to non-existence of
an internal system.

and these persons are currently employed at TECs (approximately 30%).

cause living more challenging for these educators as it is not suitable for the life standards in Turkey, leading educators to
quit their jobs.
