The World Bank, together with the Ministry of National Education of Turkey, Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency, the European Union, and KfW, has launched the "School Construction Projects under the Facility for Refugees in Turkey" Project.

Funded by the European Union and implemented by KfW and the World Bank, the project aims to support the Government of Turkey in improving access to education for Syrians under Temporary Protection (SuTP), as well as their host communities, by expanding disaster-resilient education infrastructure in priority provinces.

The Ministry of National Education (MoNE) will construct approximately 56 formal and informal education facilities, reaching more than 40,000 direct beneficiaries.

The project will not only facilitate access of SuTP and host-community students to formal education facilities, but will also facilitate the construction of informal education facilities that would benefit the community at large.
