A total of 10 temporary training centers will be set up for Syrian refugees in the town of Reyhanlı near the Turkey's southern border, the local mayor said on Tuesday.

The centers will be established with the cooperation of the Ministry of National Education, Prime Ministry Disaster and Emergency Management, AFAD and the Reyhanlı municipality, Hüseyin Şanverdi said.

"There are currently 108,000 Syrians living in Reyhanlı, and these centers will enable the school-age children to continue their education," Şanverdi said, adding that work was already underway to build the first of the prefab schools.

Turkey has adopted an open-door policy for civilians fleeing conflict in Syria and Iraq, with around 2.5 million Syrian refugees currently being hosted in the country.
