Eight schools were destroyed during the war that took place in the city and its countryside during the rule of Turkish-backed armed factions, and during battles between Islamic State (ISIS) and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) co-chair of the educational complex in al-Shaddadi, Muhammad al-Jarad, told North Press.

These schools were destroyed during the battles that the area witnessed between 2013 and 2016, al-Jarad pointed out.

As the new academic approaches, the eight schools, four of which are in the city and four of which are in the countryside, are still out of service, he added.
