An End to Education

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, An End to Education

A generation of Syrian schoolchildren is missing out on schooling because of the war.

The devastating war in Syria means most of its school age children are no longer receiving an education. Plus despatches from reporters in Nigeria, India, Malawi and the USA.

Despatches from correspondents worldwide. In this edition: Mishal Husain's in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley talking to refugees from the war in Syria and learning how a generation of Syrian children is no longer able to go to school; the waters off Somalia aren't the world's piracy hotspot any more - Mary Harper's been finding out how Nigeria's trying to counter an upsurge in maritime crime off the west African coast; with towns and cities expanding across India, Anu Anand has been seeing how animal habitats are being gobbled up, and it's the animals who're suffering; Victoria Gill is in Malawi where powerful motorbikes are now helping out in the country's battle against HIV/AIDS and David Willis talks of 'furtive nocturnal rituals' in the suburbs of Los Angeles as the great California drought, already three years old, shows no sign of coming to an end.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
