Gordon Brown to ask for $500m for Syrian refugees' schooling in Lebanon

The Guardian

Gordon Brown is to call on the international community to provide $500m (£312m) to pay for schooling for 300,000 Syrian refugees in Lebanon amid fears that the number of displaced children could reach 500,000 by next year.

The former prime minister will present a report in New York on Monday which shows the education burden placed on Lebanon by refugee children is the equivalent of London having to find school places for every pupil in Birmingham and Manchester.
