British Council NENA Project
The British Council’s NENA (Near East & North Africa) Regional ICT Project is the first major initiative of its kind to be undertaken by the UK’s leading international education NGO. The project aims to inform long-term strategic thinking and develop lasting partnerships across the governments of the Middle East in the field of ICT in education. We have been contracted to develop and deliver a teacher training program for Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and Egypt, together with a supporting series of follow-up events to ensure local classroom impact and sustainability.
Our training model is proving instrumental towards local capacity-building by enabling teachers to deliver training themselves to their colleagues. The long-term findings of the project will also inform regional government planning for the coming years. In addition, our recent training session in the West Bank constituted the first event of the Palestinian Education Initiative, a venture with similar aims to the Jordanian Education Initiative in which we are also involved.
