human rights programme

UNRWA schools integrate human rights into the teaching of Arabic, Islamic studies and social science as part of the Agency’s effort to promote non-violence, healthy communication skills and conflict resolution. In June 2012, the Agency adopts its policy on Education for Human Rights, Conflict Resolution and Tolerance (HRCRT), based on the OHCHR World Programme for Human Rights Education.  UNRWA also develops and implements the HRCRT Toolkit, a comprehensive guide for teachers to facilitate human rights education.
