Finally, it completed constructing classrooms in 3 schools!

Colourful flowers are blooming around Jordan. Spring is just around the corner.
A new semester has started at the second week of February in public schools.

The north 3 governorates, Irbid, Mafraq and Ajloun, have accepted huge numbers of Syrian refugees so far. One of the places, Naimeh, where JEN’s target school exists was the most crowded area by Syrian and it is said that its population is more than Jordanian.
There is a primary school for boys located 4 km away from Naimeh, but it is too far to commute on foot. Naimeh Primary Mixed School has absorbed children even though the number has exceeded the limitation because it is the only school that female students can enrol around this area. Thus, the classrooms were overcrowded.

It is found in host communities that there are some parents stop children schooling. This is because learning environment is bad for children due to narrow space, pre-fabricated classroom and/or double-shifting.
JEN’s support of classroom expansion is ‘killing THREE birds with one stone’ because to avoid losing education opportunity, dropping out and to keep education quality through improving learning environment.
In a tough situation for both Syrian refugees and Jordanian host community members, what Syrian and Jordanian children continue to study in suitable learning environment JEN contributes can provide better future for both countries.
The school assessment JEN host community mentioned in previous blog article is in process. Using the result, JEN will contribute to create appropriate learning environment in public schools.
