Despite a Turkish law that enables Syrian children to enjoy education in Turkey, over 400,000 Syrian children do not attend school. Among others, this is due to the language barrier, integration problems, lack of money and information, says a Human Rights Watch report that was published on Monday.

The report is the first of three on education for Syrian children in Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon.
