AMMAN - HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, founder and chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global (TAG.Global) has published an online petition calling on world leaders and peoples to immediately end all education sanctions on the Syrian people so that millions in the country may benefit from improved education prospects.
In the petition, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh urged the United States as a friend of the Middle East, to permanently lift all education sanctions on Syria so that students may not be deprived of education as a basic human right to which they are legally entitled.
In his appeal, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh, commended the United States’ positive role in educational development globally through entities such as UNRWA, which he himself had benefited from, through a scholarship that allowed him to complete his University education at the American University in Beirut, Lebanon.
He went onto say that educated people are the true friends of the United States and the World, as education lifts the positive trends and prospects of millions in the country. He urged as many people as possible across the World to sign the petition and has sent letters to Prime Ministers, Governments, Ministries, Ambassadors and development agencies across the World to join him in this effort.
