Syrian Minister of Education: News Broadcast on Closing Schools in Damascus Untrue

Minister of Education, Hazwan al-Wazz, on Wednesday denied as untrue news broadcast by some media on closing schools in Damascus.

The Minister stressed in a stement to SANA that the percentage of student attendance in Damascus schools on Wednesday reached 90% and the attendance of the teaching and administrative staff amounted to 98%.

He said that such false news aired by some media outlets which are involved in the shedding of the Syrian blood comes within the tendentious campaign launched against Syria and its people.

Minister al-Wazz noted that the parents of students in the areas which were targeted by the armed terrorist groups lingered before sending their children to school until they made sure that everything was stable and there was no risk of their children being injured by the terrorists’ gunfire.
