Making education a priority: Migrants now have an option to continue their interrupted studies at a new online university, free of charge.

PHNOM PENH: Christina Al Bdewi's plan to become a doctor shuddered to a halt in May when she fled fighting between Islamist rebels and the Syrian army in her home town Damascus, the Syrian capital. 

She had just finished her first term studying medicine, but now wonders whether she will ever realise her dream as she waits for her refugee application to be processed in the small German town where she settled with her mother.
