Students in Syria’s capital, Damascus, returned to classrooms on Sunday following an order by the country’s new rulers. This is their attempt to stabilize the war-torn nation.
The reopening of schools happens only a week after armed anti-government rebels, belonging to the group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) overthrew Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad.
The country's new de facto leader, Ahmad al-Sharaa, faces a massive challenge to rebuild Syria after over a decade of a civil war that has killed hundreds of thousands of people.
Officials report of widespread reopening of schools across the country, but some parents are still hesitant to send their children to school due to the uncertainty of the situation.
However, some students express optimism about the move saying it comes as a relief at a time they expected to be drafted to military service.
These efforts to rebuild Syria come as its neighbours and other foreign powers work out a new stance on the country.
