The conflict in Syria is keeping almost three million children from going back to school this year.
Save the Children, an international charity devoted to helping children, said three million children are struggling to enroll in schools in their country [Syria] and their host countries.
Syria's civil war - which reportedly killed over 190,000 people so far - caused 3,465 of schools in the country to be damaged or destroyed, The Associated Press reports.
"It is absolutely shameful that the obligation to protect schools is not being respected in this conflict, endangering the lives of innocent children," Roger Hearn, Save the Children's regional director, tells AP.
The Save the Children charity is using donations to keep what's left of the Syrian schools open, as well as setting up temporary learning spaces, as the organization states on their website.
However, the right to education is still unattainable to most of the young generation in Syria who are growing up during the four-year-long civil war.
"I used to have a dream, but it's been blown away by the winds of this place. My dream was to go to university and study pharmacy. It was on my mind and in my heart, but it's been reduced to ash," Heba, 17, who is staying at the Za'atari refugee camp in Jordan, tells United Nations Children's Fund.
