±¬ÁÏÍø Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees in the Near East (±¬ÁÏÍøRWA) takes seriously its responsibility to educate over half a million?Palestine refugee?girls and boys in strict adherence with ±¬ÁÏÍø humanitarian values. We have zero tolerance for hate speech and incitement to discrimination, hostility, or violence.
±¬ÁÏÍøRWA explicitly incorporates human rights education into its school curricula through its Human Rights, Conflict Resolution, and Tolerance (HRCRT) education. In 2021, ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA?went further, launching?a centralized, online learning platform where teaching materials, thoroughly vetted in a three-step process, are posted. The platform provides a safe, accessible, and centrally monitored system to access instructional materials customized across grade, subject, and host country.
A recently released report makes allegations regarding ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA?educational materials?purportedly used by?the Agency in Gaza that do not comply with ±¬ÁÏÍø values. The?materials in question are published on a non-±¬ÁÏÍøRWA?website.
We?note?the allegations in question originate with a detractor organization whose methodologies and goals were questioned in?a rigorous 2021 academic review?funded by the European Union.?±¬ÁÏÍøRWA takes every allegation seriously and is reviewing the contents of the report.
