Thousands of people have lost their lives and millions of people were affected by the conflicts in Syria in April 2011. Many people had to flee neighbouring countries due to the conflict; and now Turkey currently hosts more than 3.5 million Syrian migrants which make Turkey the biggest migrant hosting country in the world. In the first years of the conflict, the policies for Syrians were short-term as it has been assumed that they would go back to their country soon and policies aimed at meeting the urgent needs such as food and shelter. In recent years, longer-term policies have been commenced, including policies in education. There are more than 1.6 million Syrian children living in Turkey. While efforts to ensure the access and participation of these children to education continue, still over 400.000 Syrian children are out of the education domain. The main aim of the study is to discover the reasons behind why thousands of Syrian children are out of school, and how child labour creates the biggest reason behind the out of schooling problem of Syrian children living in Turkey. The study is based upon a documentation and policy analysis together with secondary data analysis. Using this research methodology, I present that the migration related schooling problems of Syrian children in Turkey can be solved with short-term policies and strategies; nonetheless, problems and obstacles related to poverty resulting with child labour are harder to overcome and need special focus through longer term, comprehensive and multisectoral policy making.
