Students Return to Schools in Syria

Students in Syria have returned to classrooms as the country's new authorities mandated the reopening of schools, reports Reuters.

Today, students gathered in the courtyard of a boys' high school in Damascus and applauded as the school's secretary, Raed Naser, hoisted the flag adopted by the new regime.

“Everything is good. We are fully equipped. We worked for two to three days to provide the necessary services for the safe return of students to the school,” Naser stated, adding that the Jawdat al Hashimi School was not affected.
