Tunisia EU and Jordan Strengthen Commitment to Inclusive and Sustainable Education
This initiative is set to transform Jordan’s education system by eliminating seven double-shift schools, enabling students to receive full-day education. Additionally, three rented schools have been closed to optimize resources and improve long-term sustainability. Overcrowding has been eased in 12 schools, significantly improving the learning environment. In total, these new schools will serve 6,280 students across 152 classrooms and eight kindergarten classrooms, fostering a secure and inclusive educational atmosphere. Notably, over 10% of the students are from the Syrian refugee community, and 50% are girls, reinforcing the project’s inclusive design. Beyond education, the project brings lasting economic and social benefits. It has generated jobs for local contractors and suppliers, contributing to economic growth. With better learning conditions, students are better positioned for academic success and future career opportunities. Additionally, multipurpose halls and sports fields extend the schools’ role as community centers, fostering engagement beyond school hours.
