Education

Refugee Alliance International provides educational opportunities to displaced children and youth. The Right To Education is paramount to the future of Palestine and its diverse communities, with the Support Education Program enabling students to achieve industry-specific qualifications. STEM study courses (science, technology, engineering, and maths) provided through the program instill in students important and innovative technology skills. Throughout the program, students learn career skills that allow them to directly address the problems in the camps and to work together to develop community-led solutions. For many refugee children, educational opportunities are limited due to a lack of resources and persistent or ongoing trauma. The Education Support Program works within the refugee camps to not only fill gaps in student’s learning, but to help develop analytical and critical thinking skills. Students are motivated to be involved in their own academic progress through formal and informal education programs, with the goal of enabling students to develop lifelong skills and resilience. Involvement in the program further seeks to establish a respect for diversity among students, with children coming from different cultural or learning backgrounds.
