Syria's new ambassador to Belarus sworn in before president al-Assad

Damascus, ( ST) - About 60 outstanding students from different Syrian governorates who have excelled in the Basic Education Certificate for the year 2020 through attaining full marks were honoured in a meeting with Mrs. Asma al-Assad. The meeting encouraged them and gave them an incentive to press ahead with their success and contribute to building their homeland, Syria.
In statements they made following the meeting, a number of honored students affirmed that the meeting was a great incentive to achieve more success in their future study.
Student Carla Antonios al-Dawood from al-Ma'ounah School in Damascus said that the meeting was special as Mrs. Asma Al-Assad received them under these difficult health conditions created by the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic, adding: “I had a good feeling that will remain with me when I saw her. This meeting left a deep impact on myself and encouraged me to continue my hard work to raise the name of Syria high at international arenas.
The US-backed SDF militias seized most of the governorate of Hassakeh’s schools, which limited the ability of the remaining public schools to teach the increasing numbers of students and led to overcrowding in the classrooms.
A week after the start of the new school year, local sources said that the schools’ classroom filled with more than 70 students, so some of the students had to stand because there was no place for them to sit-this happened at a time when the world is seeking to achieve spatial distancing to prevent the Corona epidemic.
