Damascus: Emirati businessman Khalaf Al-Habtoor has donated 100,000 school desks to support the educational process in Syria and enhance humanitarian cooperation between Syria and the United Arab Emirates.
According to Syrian Arab News Agency, Minister of Education Mohammad Abdul Rahman Tarko expressed his gratitude and appreciation to Al Habtoor. He emphasized that this gesture reflects the depth of fraternal relations between the Syrian and Emirati peoples and embodies the spirit of human solidarity in supporting education as a fundamental pillar for building the future.
Many schools in Syria are dealing with a severe shortage of school desks due to destruction and neglect they suffered during the era of the deposed regime.
