For her part, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Amman, Barbara Joseas said in her speech during her speech, that “UNRWA's support to continue to provide services to the targeted and vulnerable groups in Jordan and those coming from Syria is very important for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. We, in the Dutch Embassy in Jordan, focus particularly on children because they are the future and need equal opportunities to develop their energies. Therefore, one of the priorities of our program is to ensure access to quality education within a safe environment. Through several projects, the Kingdom of the Netherlands aims to provide protection against exploitation, during the difficult times for this category of Palestinian refugees and those coming from Syria.
In the meantime, the Action Group noted in its documentary entitled "The Palestinian Student… Reality and Prospects” that UNRWA’s statistics revealed that there are 778 Palestinian refugees from Syria, registered at the beginning of the academic year 2016-2017 in 127 of its schools, who receive their education until the end of the tenth grade, which is UNRWA's last class of free education.
Students from Syria in Jordan can also enroll in the Agency's education and technical and vocational training programs, that provide short-term courses and direct professional guidance services to support the Palestinian refugees from Syria, and the Palestinian refugees in Jordan. 27 Palestinian refugees from Syria in Jordan have benefited from it.
