Abstract

This report investigates the challenges faced by Syrian refugees after completing the 9th grade in Lebanon, a critical turning point for students in the Lebanese education system. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, the study identifies factors that support or hinder Syrian refugee students' continuation of education. Key findings include the significant role of parental support, remedial education from NGOs, and students' personal perseverance. Conversely, challenges such as registration difficulties, transportation costs, language barriers, and financial hardships are major obstacles. The report offers recommendations for supporting Syrian students, emphasizing the importance of a supportive school environment, financial assistance, and mentorship programs.
