Title A comparison study: Different parties, different ideologies, different educational systems: The war and its effects on schooling in Syria
Summary The war in Syria had significant negative effects on the education sector. The quality of education has dropped dramatically, threatening Syria's political, economic and social future. The matter did not stop there, but education turned into a tool of conflict between the three dominant forces (the government, the opposition, and the Kurdish forces). All forces worked to ideologize education in accordance with their policy and vision, albeit to varying degrees. This thesis serves to conduct a comparative study of the educational situation in all three regions. The main research question that this thesis seeks to answer is: What is the impact of the different military forces on the educational system in the Syrian context in terms of quality and ideology in the different levels of schooling phases? To answer this question, I relied on a complex methodology, which used quantitative and qualitative tools, as well as secondary sourcing. Moreover, this study targeted three societal groups: children, parents, and key personalities. Despite the dark reality in the educational sector, this thesis developed a set of recommendations that help mitigate these negative effects.
