Because of the earthquake, 327 schools in Northern and Eastern Syria were damaged. Some of them were closed and approximately 28,850 students were forced to stop their courses.

After the earthquake, the Education and Training Committee formed an engineering team to inspect all schools in Northern and Eastern Syria. It was determined that most of the schools were slightly damaged and could be repaired in a short time. But 56 schools suffered serious damage.

Speaking to ANHA, Receb El Mûşref, co-chair of the Education and Training Committee, stated that after the earthquake in the region, approximately 28,850 students were forced to stay at home.

According to al-Mûşrêf, students were transferred to schools close to their homes to solve this problem. In some schools, class hours are reduced according to the number of students.

El Mûşrêf stated that they asked the Education Committees to increase the number of students in the classes and to use the online system when needed, in order to provide continuity to education. "We are trying to avoid major changes to the education plan for the 2022-2023 academic year. The Education and Training Committee always makes a training plan and determines the materials to be taught throughout the year. Classes are given every month accordingly.”

Al-Mûşrêf stated that they are confident of solving this problem in the coming days and resuming classes as normal.
