A dedicated school in Sudan for both Syrian and Sudanese female students is being hailed a success for integrating and welcoming refugees.
More than 150,000 Syrian refugees have arrived in Sudan since the start of war in Syria.
STORY-LINE:
Female students arrive for classes at Somayya bint Al-Khayyat Standard Girls School for Basic Education on the outskirts of Khartoum.
While it looks like a regular busy morning assembly, this school has one big difference - the majority of students are Syrian.
The school is made up of 240 Syrian girls and 120 Sudanese students. Of the 25 teachers, 17 are Syrian and the rest are Sudanese.
There's no segregation and all classes are a mix of girls from the same age group. The shared language and similarities in culture help the students to bond with each other.
The joint Syrian-Sudanese school is being hailed as a successful program for integrating Syrian refugees into a new life in Sudan.
Ola Othman is a 14 year-old Syrian student who came to Sudan with her family six months ago to flee the fighting in her home country.
"All my colleagues are good. We have no problems among us, ever. They are kind. Teachers are excellent. They explain everything we want, and answer all our questions. My grades are excellent and I hope to stay so," she says.
The Sudanese government has allied the school with the Committee to Support Syrian Families, which is a group helping Syrian refugees in Khartoum.
The group provides the equipment and supplies needed to bring the school closer to those in Syria.
However the school teaches the official Sudanese curriculum, but with added extras to cater for the Syrian students.
"We teach them English, because the Sudanese government schools do not teach English until the fifth grade and above. We teach it from the first grade. They (students) also study Syria's geography and history," says Nusaiba Al-Ayoubi, supervisor of Syrian students in Somayya bint Al-Khayyat school.
The deputy head teacher, Laila Mostafa, says the students are progressing well in the shared environment.
Ola Othman moved to Sudan with her father, mother and two brothers. Like other Syrian families, they entered without a visa.
Sudan allows Syrians to enter its territory without a visa and subsequently treats them as Sudanese citizens in terms of free education, treatment in government hospitals, freedom of movement and acquisitions and the opening of projects.
For these reasons and others, more than 150,000 Syrian refugees have arrived in Sudan since the start of war in Syria. They are called here guests not refugees.
Ola's father works as a blacksmith and earns approximately 4000 Sudanese pounds per month. Half of that goes on rent for the apartment they live in.
Ola's mother works as a teacher in the Syrian school and earns around 500 pounds per month.
Ola says she has high hopes of becoming an eye doctor when she finishes her schooling.
"I want to become an oculist, because the field of ophthalmology does not deal with blood, for when I was in Syria I had a problem with blood, because there is always blood, blood, blood. So, I am afraid of blood, and I liked to be an oculist due to lack of surgery in ophthalmology. I only do not want to conduct surgery, I just want to examine the eyes (for) diseases, the nearsightedness, farsightedness and so on," she says.

There's diffference between Arab and Arabian
The real name Of Syria is Aram. Assyria real name is Ashur.
