Education, Skills and Livelihood

A dialogue between experts in educational affairs during the panel discussion entitled: “Safe Schools for a Better Future”, which was held by Al-Nahda Women’s Network at the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD), in cooperation with the National Alliance for the Future of Education in Jordan (NAFE).

Jordan’s ranking has plummeted to become one of the seven worst countries in the world in terms of education, according to the results of the PISA test released at the end of 2023.

Nadine Al-Nimri, Director of Media and Advocacy at Save the Children, referred to the issue of pre-war children who already suffer from physical, developmental, and psychological risks and damage, which have escalated dangerously today, warning in the same context of post-war repercussions, especially in light of the loss of psychological and social support and protection for them, and the lack of qualified cadres to deal with cases.

Following this cultural and educational approach, which is an invaluable opportunity for young people, the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD) and Al-Khwarizmi Technical University College signed a cooperation agreement to provide educational scholarships to 15 young women and men between the ages of 18 and 28, with the aim of enrolling them in vocational training courses within the college’s programs, in addition to improving employment and livelihood opportunities for refugees and host communities in Jordan.
