12 Classrooms constructed in 4 schools in Irbid, Mafraq and Zarqa!

Public schools in Jordan are originally overcrowded. Since huge number of Syrian refugee students enrolled into public schools, learning environment has become worse and worse. JEN has frequently found that classrooms are very narrow so that students even cannot move flexibly.

In order to solve over crowdedness, the Ministry of Education has operated double-shift schooling system. However, this double-shift system caused other problems. The duration of classes in double-shift schools is shorter than in one-shift schools besides the difficulty for students to accommodate the monthly swapping shifts.

Thus, JEN focused on classroom expansion and renovation water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities as one of the host community programmes. Especially, the remote area in Irbid, Mafraq and Zarqa, where there is no other option for students commuting to schools mostly on foot. And in this time, we are able to inform that 12 Classrooms constructed in 4 schools in these area.

Education for Syrian refugees has been a crucial problem since Syria Crisis past more than 3 years. Thus, and in response to the on-going crisis, JEN continues to implement classroom expansion projects in Jordan and to minimise the possibilities of losing any educational opportunity.
