Turkey, 13 Rabi’ul Awwal 1437/24 December 2015 (MINA) – Some 300,000 Syrian refugees, who fled their country due to the civil war, are currently provided with an education in Turkey, said a Turkish official Wednesday.

The Turkish Ministry of Education deputy secretary Yusuf Buyuk told Anadolu Agency that great efforts had been made to integrate Syrians into the education system in the country’s 81 provinces, Anadolu Agency reports as quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA).

Buyuk stated again that Turkey was currently hosting nearly 2.5 million refugees, and it has spent around 8 billion euros ($8.73 billion) on providing for the refugee population since 2011.

He said that the Syrian students attended public schools and temporal education centers in refugee camps and in city centers.
