United Nations, United States: Gordon Brown, UN special envoy for education, launched an international appeal Wednesday to close a funding gap and pay for the education of 500,000 Syrian refugee children in Lebanon.

The former British prime minister said the money would help fund an agreement reached with the Lebanese government allowing Syrians to be taught at the country’s schools.

But the initiative still lacks $163 million in funding, Brown said.
