A student takes a test in Hama, Syria.  Despite the ongoing war, students in many parts of Syria are taking comprehensive exams.

Whoever hears of students being overjoyed to take final exams?

That’s why more than a hundred ninth graders living in a besieged Damascus refugee camp were thrilled to get safe passage out of the camp to take final exams. Without the exams, they would have lost a year of school.In the midst of Syria’s civil war, very little can be taken for granted.
