       Ongoing conflicts across the Middle East have prevented more than 13million children from attending school, according to a report published by theUnited Nations Children’s Fund.
        The report states that 40% of all children across the region are currently notreceiving an education, which is a result of two consequences of violence:structural damage to schools and the displacement of populations, also called“forced migration.” Both issues result from the tide of violence that has crossedthe region in recent years. The report examines nine countries where a state ofwar has become the norm. Across these countries, violence has made 8,500schools unusable. In certain cases, communities have relied on school buildingsto function as shelters for the displaced, with up to nine families living in a singleclassroom in former schools across Iraq.
         The report pays particularly close attention to Syria, where a bloody civil warhas displaced at least nine million people since the war began in 2011. The basicpublic services, including education, inside Syria have been stretched to breakingpoint. Within the country, the quality and availability of education depends onwhether a particular region is suffering violence.
         The report concludes with an earnest request to international policymakersto distribute financial and other resources to ease the regional crisis. With morethan 13 million children already driven from classrooms by conflict, it is noexaggeration to say that the educational prospects of a generation of children arein the balance. The forces that are crushing individual lives and futures are alsodestroying the prospects for an entire region.
