Three years ago, most Syrian children were at school, and the country had near universal primary education. Today

9、, millions of children are being denied any chance to realize their talents. The scars will last for decades.So, in Syria and the surrounding region, there is already a lost generation in the making: children who are now eight and nine and who have never been to school, children condemned to work as

21、离失所状态，其中一百多万逃出了叙利亚，正在邻国（特别是黎巴嫩、约旦和土耳其）难民营中艰难度日。这些儿童正在苦捱被赶出家园和学校并远离朋友的第三个冬天。很多人和家庭失散，每天都有数千儿童加入因这场现时代最大的人道主义灾难而加入流离失所大军。但黎巴嫩的一项开创性计划为他们打开了一扇希望的小窗，该计划包括了老师、援助机构和教育慈善机构。在混乱的难民帐篷、简易住所和屋子缺乏中，已经开始了一场为国际援助新原则而进行的斗争：即使在冲突期间，儿童也必须获得教育。一个半世纪前，红十字会建立了一条规范，冲突区也可以并且应该获得医疗服务。这条原则被无国界医生（Mdicins sans Frontires）等组织发

22、扬光大，在过去四十年里，医生们冒着生命危险前往世界最危险地区行医。如今，黎巴嫩正在成为试验场，推广一个新观念为难民儿童提供教育也同样是可行的，并且重要性也完全不落下风。该教育计划覆盖饱受战乱和分裂的叙利亚的1,500个社区（难民儿童现占学龄人口的20%），旨在将儿童的受教育权确立为人道主义优先日程。一般而言，难民儿童需要十多年才能回到家乡。而儿童离开学校越久，就越不可能回到学校去。三年前，大部分叙利亚儿童都在学校就读，该国基本实现了全民小学教育普及。如今，数百万儿童无法获得实现天赋的机会。这一创伤会持续数十年之久。因此，在叙利亚和周边地区，失落的一代正在产生：目前八九岁但从未上过学的儿童、沦为童工的儿童、以及成百上千被迫早早嫁人的女孩。更有大量可怕的传闻说有年轻人被迫为了生存而卖肾和其他器官。当然，我们必须提供食品、住所和疫苗。但是，在叙利亚内战这样的冲突中，儿童除了需要基本物质条件外，还需要希望。而能给身处黑暗隧道中的儿童带来迎接前方曙光的希望的正是教育，教育能让他们燃起迈向未来、准备工作的希望。黎巴嫩的试验计划由英国海外发展研究所（Overseas De
