Since the outbreak of Syrian conflict 2011, Turkey has received more than 3.5 million refugees, including a great number of school-aged children. Providing education to Syrian child refugees has therefore become important in Turkey. To effectively deal with this issue, Turkish government has developed educational policies and legal arrangements. Establishing Temporary Education Centres providing education in Arabic based on an adapted Syrian curriculum, was one of the main changes in Turkish educational system to accommodate Syrian child refugees. This paper aims to present the current conditions and issues at TECs based on views of Syrian teachers working in these centres. The findings show that TECs have faced several challenges, which can be categorized under three themes: infrastructral, student-related, and teacher-related challenges. The issues related to each of themes are disscussed based on the views of teachers working in TECs and suggestions relevant to both policymakers and researchers are presented in this paper.

Tangu mapigano ya Syria yalipoanza mwaka 2011, Uturuki imepokea zaidi ya wakimbizi milioni 3.5 na idadi kubwa ya watoto wa umri wa kwenda shule. Kwa hiyo kutoa elimu kwa watoto wakimbizi wa Syria imekuwa muhimu nchini Uturuki. Ili kushughulikia suala hili kwa ufanisi, serikali ya Uturuki imebuni sera za elimu na mipango ya kisheria. Kuanzishwa kwa vituo vya elimu ya muda kutoa elimu katika Kiarabu kulingana na mtaala wa Syria uliobadilishwa, ilikuwa moja ya mabadiliko makuu katika mfumo wa elimu wa Uturuki ili kukaribisha wakimbizi wa watoto wa Syria. Makala hii inakusudia kuwasilisha hali za sasa na masuala katika TECs kulingana na maoni ya walimu wa Syria wanaofanya kazi katika vituo hivi. Matokeo ya utafiti huo yanaonyesha kuwa TECs wamekabiliwa na changamoto kadhaa, ambazo zinaweza kugawanywa chini ya mandhari tatu: changamoto za miundombinu, changamoto zinazohusiana na wanafunzi, na changamoto zinazohusiana na walimu. Masuala yanayohusiana na kila moja ya mandhari ni kujadiliwa kulingana na maoni ya walimu wanaofanya kazi katika TECs na mapendekezo muhimu kwa watunga sera na watafiti ni iliyotolewa katika karatasi hii.
