The future recovery of Syria is dependent on the education of its children, according to the Executive Director of the UN Children’s Fund, UNICEF.

UNICEF recently marked one year since the launch of the “No Lost Generation” initiative which aims to alleviate the impact of the Syrian crisis on children’s learning and psychological well-being.
