Speaking during a press conference to discuss the outcomes of Syria Conference held in London, UK on Thursday, Fakhoury pointed out that “Turkey has hinted at the possibility of providing one million jobs, while Lebanon will offer 210,000 jobs to Syrians.”
“There are about 143,000 Syrian students who benefit from the education services in the kingdom while 82-92,000 of them remain without education.”
He said donors have expressed their readiness to offer $1 billion to build more classrooms and new schools for Syrian refugees.
Jordan is expected to receive $2.1 billion in the coming three years, he explained, with $1.5 billion being spent on sewage, education, health and infrastructure.
