Abstract

<p style="text-align:justify">The aim of this study is to determine the problems, the solutions and the suggestions of the school principals and teachers towards the Syrian refugee students in the primary schools in Turkey. The research group of the study included four school principals and six teachers. The research was conducted by qualitative methods. The results revealed that the school principals mostly live communication, adaptation, accreditation, absenteeism, psychological and financial problems related to Syrian refugee students. Teachers also have problems such as communication problems with these students. Principals have opened ‘support rooms’ for these students; have worked for adaptation of these students, have been in contact with the families. The teachers opened literacy courses and worked to socialize these students with their classmates. Both principals and teachers have primarily proposed the creation of specific curricula for these students and the activities to solve the problem of language and cohesion for these students.</p>

Summary

Introduction

The civil war that started in Syri a in March 2011 has caused millions of people to uproot and leave their country; primarily migrating to Turkey and some traveling onwards to the Wes t out of Turkey. The movement of such a large population towards the West was so intense that Europea n Union countri es, unprepared for such an action, were surprised at what they would do. The countri es to which the Syrians fled had no idea where to place and how to accommodate the thousands of people who came seeking refuge. For exampl e, according to official figures (BBC, 2016b), France vacated the refugee camp in Calais, which was home to seven thousand refugees, mostly Syrian, due to substandard living conditions and conflicts between French police and refugees in October 2016
