Ramleh preparatory girl's school, established in 1960, and Deir Al-Assad/Birweh elementary girl's schools, established in 1983, in Homs refugee camp, have a total of 1,310 female pupils and 36 teaching staff. The school buildings are in a very bad condition. There are serious structural problems and many of the classrooms have cracks in the walls and ceilings. Due to lack of funds for maintenance, these schools have deteriorated to a point where reconstruction is needed.
