Gaziantep: H H Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of Education Above All, yesterday visited Syrian refugee camps in Southern Turkey. She visited two camps housing over 16,000 refugees from Aleppo, Homs, Hamma, Latakia and Idlib.

Sheikha Moza assessed educational facilities and conditions for children and teachers in the camps and pledged her support through her programme, Educate A Child, to ensure quality education.

As a result of her visit, possibilities for collaboration were considered as well as an exchange of knowledge between Education Above All and Turkish organisations that specialise in the field, such as Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency and Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority.

Sheikha Moza visited classrooms and community facilities and spoke with teachers, parents and families on difficulties they faced, which inhibited the provision of quality education for children.

She was hosted by Emine Erdogan, First Lady of Turkey, Aysenur Islam, Turkish Minister of Family and Social Policy, and Fatma Sahin, Mayor of Gaziantep.
