External consultant to analyse, design, draft and package educational curriculum
1. Background
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is a non-profit organization registered with the Ministry of Interior of Jordan since 2008 and operational in Jordan since 2012. In the Education Core Competency, NRC offers informal education for children and youth in Zaatari and Azraq camps, and education projects in host community areas in northern Jordan, in partnership with the Ministry of Education.
In 2017, the NRC education programme will continue in both camps and in host communities. In Zaatari and Azraq camps, programme activities mainly support the learning of children aged 6-15 who are in-school but at risk of dropping out, as well as those who remain out-of-school. The purpose of NRC’s camp education programme is to support all Syrian children to be able to access and stay in-school and to achieve well academically. Children receive learning support with a combination of literacy and numeracy, life skills, psychosocial well-being and computer skills to help retain them in quality education. In the host community programme, NRC conducts school expansion activities of classroom and WASH block construction combined with education on hygiene and school maintenance practices.
