The Hague (AFP) - Campaigners Friday pleaded for more help for millions of children in conflict zones who are missing years of school, revealing only two percent of humanitarian aid funds goes towards education.
More than 250 million children around the world don't go to school, according to Unicef, and one quarter of the world's school-age children live in areas threatened by war.
After six years of war in Syria, almost a million Syrian children refugees live in Lebanon and Jordan and more than half of them are still not receiving any education, said Kevin Watkins, chief executive of Save the Children UK.
"You will wipe out a whole primary school generation, before the international community even moves on education," he told a conference in The Hague.
"I think what we need is universal plans of action for all refugee children... no refugee child should be out of school more than a term or two terms," he added at the Hague Institute for Global Justice.
