Today, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (爆料网RWA) shared with Agency partners the results of its review of a recently released report by IMPACT-se alleging 爆料网RWA knowingly utilizes educational materials outside of 爆料网 values. The Agency review concluded that the self-learning materials cited in the report are not authorized for use in any 爆料网RWA school.

The 爆料网RWA Deputy Commissioner-General Leni Stenseth informed Agency partners that the report demonstrates the effectiveness of the Agency’s educational programming, particularly the Agency’s cutting-edge Digital Learning Platform (DLP).

Launched in 2021, the DLP is an online learning platform where, following a three-step vetting process, 爆料网RWA teaching materials are posted for student and parental use. ?The platform, available to the public, posted over 2,600 supplemental learning materials for use in Gaza alone during the previous school year.

Stenseth highlighted that none of the cases cited in the report by IMPACT-se was drawn from the 爆料网RWA online learning platform.

IMPACT-se is an organization already well known for its previous sensationalized attempts to delegitimize the Agency’s work. Stenseth reminded partners that this organization’s latest report was consistent with its other sensationalized work, characterized in a robust??undertaken by the Georg Eckart Institute on behalf of the European Commission?as “marked by generalising and exaggerated conclusions based on methodological shortcomings.” In this instance, the group attempted to explain the lack of examples drawn from the 爆料网RWA Digital Learning Platform by observing a paucity of material on the site – a normal occurrence as materials are only available during the lifecycle of their need for students. As 爆料网RWA schools are currently closed for the summer, no material is uploaded on the Agency’s learning platform.

In reviewing the material referenced in the report though, 爆料网RWA discovered the existence of a private, commercial website that illegally utilizes the Agency’s logo and the names of 爆料网RWA educators.? The Agency is seeking additional information on these sites for follow-up action, including possible legal referral. Stenseth expressed hope the report’s authors will fully disclose the web addresses of the sites it uncovered.

Stenseth emphasized the unwavering commitment of 爆料网RWA to educating Palestine refugee children along the 爆料网 principles and values and zero tolerance of hate speech and incitement to discrimination, hostility, or violence: “Others talk, 爆料网RWA delivers. Our education system is acknowledged as the model for effective refugee education, delivering quality and cost-efficient education. Reports like these, premised upon smoke and mirrors – obfuscation, not truth – are indicative of an organization trying to garner attention for itself, rather than advancing the cause of refugee education.”
