There are about 650000 school-aged Syrian refugee children in Turkey. Government officials estimate only about one-third of them are going to school. Educating the refugee children is an enormous task. One US. Official says that a huge school system like the one in New York City would be overwhelmed.
The United States says it is working with the United Nations to help bridge the education gap for refugee children. Without school, the effects will be negative and long-lasting.
The United States provided Turkey with aid for education earlier. In December, it offered an
additional $24 million. Human Rights Watch says a quality education will ensure a more stable future for these children. The organization says about 90% of children in refugee camps run by the Turkish government attend school. But most of the children outside of those camps are not receiving education.
1. What is the news report mainly about?
2. What did the United States do to help refugee children?
Eleven Taliban fighters attacked an important airport in southern Afghanistan early Tuesday, killing at least 50 people, afghan officials said. The afghan Defense Ministry said 38 civilians, 10 soldiers and 2 police officers were killed.
The attack on the Kandahar Air Field lasted 20 hours, reported The Washington Post. Among the dead were women and children, the newspaper wrote. The airport includes a military base with troops from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO. There were no reports that NATO troops were killed or injured in the attack.
A spokesman for the Taliban says fighters entered the base and attacked local and foreign military troops. He said more than 150 soldiers were killed in the attack. The Taliban often makes claims about the results of their attacks that are not true. Taliban attacks have grown in number and strength in Afghanistan this year after the withdrawal last year of combat troops from other countries.
3. What did Taliban fighters do early Tuesday?
4. What led to the growth of Taliban attacks in Afghanistan?
The Australian state of Tasmania is considering raising the legal age for buying cigarettes to at least 21 and potentially as high as 25. If the plan goes ahead it will give Tasmania some of the toughest tobacco laws in the world. The current legal age to purchase, possess or smoke cigarettes in all Australian states is 18. Critics have complained the proposed restrictions would be a violation of civil liberties. Australia already has some of the world’s toughest anti-smoking policies. It introduced so-called plain packaging four years ago, where packs are coloured an identical olive brown and are covered in health warnings that include pictures. The country is also one of the most expensive places in the world to buy cigarettes—from around $15 a pack.
Parts of the world already ban cigarette sales to those under 21, including Kuwait and, from next year, Hawaii. Around one-in-five Tasmanians smoke, with the vast majority taking up the habit before the age of 25. The Tasmanian government proposals are part of a five-year plan to make the state Australia’s healthiest by 2025.
5. What does the state of Tasmania plan to do?
6. According to plain packaging, what should be included in the packs of cigarette? 7. What’s the purpose of the Tasmanian government proposals?
