Dan Relief and Development continues its efforts to provide Accelerated Education services for children who have dropped out of school at the Education Center in Hajin city, eastern Deir Ezzor countryside, as part of the second cycle of the program, which started on 1 November 2025 and will continue until 30 June 2026.
A total of 220 children are benefiting from this cycle, including 105 boys and 115 girls. The educational process is organized into three levels (Level One, Level Two, and Level Three), allowing students to receive education that matches their abilities and learning levels.
Classes are conducted over two school shifts: a morning shift and an afternoon shift, ensuring the inclusion of all students through flexible schedules that meet their needs. The program is supervised by an educational team consisting of specialized trainers and 8 male and female teachers, who contribute to delivering effective education aligned with the program’s objectives.
To ensure a safe learning environment, the organization has allocated three transportation vehicles to transport students to and from their homes. This service is part of ongoing efforts to guarantee children’s safety, especially in areas that may pose risks due to security conditions or transportation challenges.
In addition, the organization conducts awareness sessions for caregivers under the title “The Importance of Education and Returning to School.” These sessions aim to motivate families to support their children’s enrollment in and continuation of education. The program set a target to reach 3,000 caregivers throughout the project’s duration. So far, 1,982 caregivers have been reached, marking significant progress toward achieving the intended goal.
As part of supporting the educational process, school bags and stationery will be distributed to all 220 students during the second week of February, helping to ease their learning journey and provide them with essential educational supplies.
The core objectives of the program focus on targeting children who dropped out of school due to crises and wars and reintegrating them into the formal education system. This is achieved by providing a learning environment that supports accelerated education and helps children overcome the negative impacts of the difficult circumstances they have experienced.
Furthermore, the educational process is accompanied by Psychosocial Support (PSS) sessions for students, implemented as part of the Time Up program, which aims to provide psychological and social support to children affected by conflict.
To enhance students’ participation in the educational process, a Children’s Club has been established, comprising 15 children (boys and girls). The club meets once a month to listen to students’ suggestions, opinions, and demands, ensuring they play an active role in improving the quality of education provided to them.
Dan Relief and Development continues its dedicated efforts to provide educational opportunities for children affected by crises, with the goal of ensuring a better future for them through education.
The Hajin Center is considered a leading model in delivering education to children in crisis-affected areas, as the program strives to achieve sustainable outcomes that contribute to improving the lives of children and their families.
