Several thousand displaced children are deprived of education at Hammam Alil 2 camp and many cannot access the only makeshift school set up earlier this year.
The reasons vary. Some children have lost their birth certificate and government IDs in the conflict. Others are not encouraged by their parents to attend school.
Five teachers instruct 2,500 kids up to age 10.80% of Iraqi children have been violently disciplined in their lifetimes.
Across the country 3 million children don't have regular education access.
Maareb Ibrahim, 7-year-old Iraqi displaced girl laments, “I want to go to the school but they don’t let me in because I don’t have a national identification document, so they can’t let me in.”
