Minister of Education: The Syrian Development Fund Places Education at the Heart of Reconstruction

Syrian Minister of Education, Mohammad Abdul Rahman Turko, confirmed that the launch of the Syrian Development Fund represents a strategic turning point in the path of reconstruction and sustainable development, as it is not viewed merely as a financing tool, but as a national platform that places education at the forefront of priorities, based on the government's conviction that building a person is the foundation for building the homeland, and that the school is the true gateway to a brighter future.

In a statement today, Friday, Minister Turko emphasized the importance of the fund in supporting the educational process in all its components, starting from rehabilitating damaged schools and preparing them to receive students, to providing a modern educational environment that meets the aspirations of future generations.

He pointed out that what distinguishes this fund is its reliance on an integrated institutional approach, subject to precise mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation, which ensures transparency in performance and speed of achievement without compromising the quality of outputs.

The minister considered that the launch of the fund represents a foundational step to restore trust and hope, and a clear message that Syria is capable, with the minds and hands of its children, of rising again and building a present worthy of its history, and a future that opens the doors of creativity and giving for its generations.

It is noteworthy that the launch of the Syrian Development Fund took place yesterday, as part of a comprehensive national plan aimed at reconstruction after years of challenges, and it is considered one of the most prominent economic tools that seeks to unify governmental, community, and international efforts, through a transparent and fair mechanism that ensures directing resources towards the most needed and prioritized projects.
