School Construction Programme
The influx of Syrian refugees resulted in challenges for the Jordanian education system. Overcrowding and double shifts result in inequitable learning conditions and decreased education quality. The need for additional schools is recognised in the Jordanian Response Plan (JPR) to the Syrian crisis.
The overall development objective of this project is to contribute to the improvement of personal and economic development perspectives for Jordanian and Syrian children to serve as a basis for stability, peace and prosperity in the region. The SCP specifically aims to improve learning conditions in the field of basic education in selected project areas through the provision and adequate utilisation of additional school infrastructure, ensuring complete equitable and quality access to primary and secondary education.
The School Construction Programme is composed of two components:
FC Component funded by the German Government through KfW Development Bank- Construction of up to 13 new schools or school extensions.
EU Component funded by the European Union- Construction of 10 new schools and complementary measures.
