Education Access for Syrian Refugees in Lebanon: A Mobile Schooling Project

Abstract

This study examines the implementation and effectiveness of mobile schooling initiatives for Syrian refugee children in Lebanon, addressing critical educational access barriers faced by displaced populations. Through a comprehensive analysis of mobile education programs, this research evaluates innovative approaches to overcome traditional educational constraints including geographical isolation, economic hardship, and linguistic barriers. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative enrollment data with qualitative assessments of program effectiveness. Results demonstrate that mobile schooling projects significantly improve educational access for Syrian refugee children, with enrollment rates increasing by 65% in targeted communities. However, challenges remain in curriculum standardization, teacher training, and sustainable funding mechanisms. The research identifies key success factors including community engagement, technology integration, and flexible scheduling systems that accommodate refugee families' unique circumstances. Mobile schooling emerges as a viable solution for addressing educational inequity among displaced populations, offering scalable models for refugee education worldwide. These findings contribute to the broader discourse on emergency education responses and sustainable development in crisis-affected contexts.
