Here's what it's like for children to attend school in war-torn Syria
Syria's education system has taken a huge hit in the civil war that has dragged on for more than five years.
Hundreds of thousands of people have fled the country, but those who remain are struggling to maintain a semblance of normalcy in their daily lives. Many schools have been decimated by airstrikes, and teachers living in ISIS territory are targets of attacks if they refuse to conform to the terrorists' curriculum.
And yet those who remain in Syria have found some ways around the danger and destruction of the war. Syrians have established makeshift schools in caves, trailers, and abandoned poultry farms to educate children living in areas not supported by the government.
Reuters has striking photos that show what it's like to go to school as a child in Syria.
