Description
The Syria conflict and refugee crisis continues to have a profound impact on Jordan´s education sector and on public schooling in particular. Children from Syrian refugee communities don´t have equal access to the educational system and they show worse performance in schools. Insufficient physical capacity of the schools to accept new students as well as unsuitable and damaged educational and sanitary infrastructure in schools has been identified by Jordan´s Ministry of Education to be at the root of these issues. The main goal of this project is to improve the schooling environment in communities with high concentration of Syrian refugees through rehabilitation of infrastructure in primary schools. The project will enable a safe and healthy educational environment for approximately 2,000 children attending 8 primary schools in low income areas of Amman, The project will focus mainly on reconstruction of educational and sanitary facilities, access to drinkable water through water tanks and water filters, electricity installation, roof repairs and installation of safety elements in schools.
