HRW: Half of Syrian Children in Lebanon Not in School
-----------------------------------------------------

In news from Lebanon, Human Rights Watch says about a quarter-million
Syrian children living there as refugees do not attend school. The
population of Lebanon is approximately 6 million-about 1 million of whom
are Syrian refugees. About half of those refugees are children. Even
though Lebanon allows for the enrollment of Syrians in its public
schools, a shortage of seats and laws restricting refugees' movements
prevent them from attending.
