Terrorists Destruction of Schools

DAMASCUS,(ST)- Students  of the typical al-Tomoh ( ambition) private school for basic education  in al-Cornich  area in Daraya could not arrive at their school to attend  classes  as they used to every day.

Lessons for the first elementary class for that day started at eight    a. m (Arabic language – mathematics – Islamic Education – Computer – society) but  the classrooms  were empty of  its students in al-Corniche area in  Daraya.  This was  not because of a  festival or a public  holiday , rather they were the  terrorists of al-Nusra Front  of al-Qaeda organization,  who deliberately attacked the school as part of  its goals  to undermine the educational process in Syria.

The terrorists stormed  into the school, which stands in the center of the agricultural area,  to the east of the city  of Darya . The terrorists attacked the building and smashed a number of its  classes . They broke the glass  of the outside door of the school and messed  with its closets and  cupboards . They left the school administration office in a chaos of papers, books and the daily schedules . But,  there on that table , there was one  Student Book (Arabic is my language) . Its front  cover depicts a face of a pretty girl child , over a pile of papers and home works to students , that teachers may not have been  able to correct .

The  terrorists  tampered with the paintings bearing the name of each class off the  halls and threw them on the ground together, with symbolic gifts for as motivation for outstanding students ,  amid shards of  broken glass.
Terrorism  will not be able to hide the  sun of knowledge and learning from  classrooms which were  once lit.
