The Syrian Ministry of Education, represented by its director of administrative development, Abdul Karim al-Qadri, is addressing the issue of employees who were dismissed during the years of conflict due to their support for the revolution. This initiative has been labeled a moral and administrative priority, highlighting the significant impact on thousands of former employees. The Ministry has introduced an online registration system to compile the names of those dismissed, which has already recorded approximately 27,000 individuals from various regions inside and outside Syria.

In addition to the ongoing efforts, al-Qadri noted that various directorates of education have established subcommittees to streamline the reintegration process for these employees. Importantly, the returnees are not mandated to return to their previous stations; instead, they can be accommodated in their current places of residence, a flexibility that is likely to ease their reintegration. Furthermore, the Ministry has addressed concerns regarding late registrations, indicating that approximately 1,900 additional employees can also seek to return to work regardless of whether their names appeared in initial lists, ensuring that no one is left behind in this reintegration process.

This initiative could have significant implications for the morale of those affected by the conflict and offers a semblance of stability in a disrupted employment landscape. It reflects the government's acknowledgment of the need to restore livelihoods for individuals previously marginalized due to their political beliefs. The successful implementation of this program may encourage further reconciliation efforts within the country as it seeks to stabilize its workforce and rebuild the educational sector that has suffered greatly during the conflict.
