2019 Syria Regional Appeal - Lebanon - Education in Emergencies

In 2019, the education programme will continue to ensure access to equitable, quality and inclusive education. By employing additional teachers and school staff and by enhancing the capacities of its teaching workforce through its development and support structures, the Agency aims to support children’s academic achievement and their overall well-being. Children’s psychosocial well-being remains a key priority for the Agency. Across UNRWA schools, counsellors attend to children’s psychosocial needs through delivering individual and group counselling sessions and other targeted psychosocial activities. Through awareness-raising activities, UNRWA aims to equip parents to better identify and address their children’s PSS needs. In addition, UNRWA aims to support the enrolment of PRS and PRL students in various trade and semiprofessional vocational courses at its Siblin Training Centre (STC).
