Project:

The Enhancing Quality Inclusive Education (EQIE) Project aims to improve access to safe, inclusive, and quality education opportunities for vulnerable children in Palestinian camps and gatherings. The project focuses on strengthening teaching and learning through teacher training, mentoring, and inclusive educational support. EQIE also promotes children’s well-being by integrating psychosocial support (PSS), play-based learning, and protective approaches within learning environments.

The project seeks to enhance teaching quality, improve students’ learning outcomes, and foster supportive and inclusive classroom environments that respond to children’s academic and psychosocial needs.

Teachers play a key role in enhancing teaching quality and improving learning outcomes across the EQIE project for school-aged children in Grades 1 to 4 who have difficulty with Arabic and English. Through classroom observation, coaching, and capacity building, the teachers ensure that instruction is learner-centered, inclusive, and aligned with program goals.
