New IIE Report on Syrian University Students and Scholars in Turkey


The Institute of International Education (IIE) and its Syria Consortium for Higher Education in Crisis is pleased to share a recently published report on the conditions and educational needs of Syrian university students and scholars in Turkey. "We Will Stop Here and Go No Further: Syrian University Students and Scholars in Turkey" is based on first-hand research and interviews conducted in Turkey in June- July 2014 through a joint effort by IIE and the University of California, Davis. The report identifies:
The crisis in Syria continues to have a devastating impact on professors, university students, and the education sector, not only in Syria but also in the neighboring countries that are now hosting more than 3 million Syrian refugees. With support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, IIE and the University of California, Davis have teamed up to conduct fieldwork in the front-line hosting states of Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey to look at the impact, implications, and possible solutions for the Syrians and their host communities. This Turkey report follows previous studies on the situation in Jordan and Lebanon. A final report, with research and recommendations related to all three host countries, will be released by IIE in early 2015.
