UN says two million Syrian children are not getting an education
With a third of the schools in the country rendered unusable as the civil war in the country rages on, Syrian children have paid the heaviest price in the conflict.

Two million children in Syria are not receiving an education, according to a report released by UNICEF.
A third of the schools in the country are too severely damaged to be usable, and in more than two-thirds of households, children are working to help provide for their families.
The children of Syria have paid the highest price in the seven-year long conflict as they face becoming a "lost generation."
