Turkey - Heroes of our Lives

Our school is a primary school in Sincan where is one of the district in Ankara with the highest number of immigrants. Nowadays, the number of refugees who are from Syria and Iraq has increased. Most immigrants are unemployed and have very low income. The education level of these families is also low; most of them are at the basic level of literacy. This situation causes the region to have a more cosmopolitan structure. This structure means that educators work with many different social, cultural and educational backgrounds. There are 1.300 students in our school and 59 of them have with low and intermediate level different disabilities.
