These partnerships aim to provide graduates with opportunities to participate in specialized training programs and engage in joint activities in the fields of scientific research, training and capacity building, and volunteer work. They also offer university students and graduates the opportunity to work as teachers in the organization’s partner non-governmental schools, contributing to the development of their professional skills and strengthening their role in the community.
It is worth noting that Teach for Palestine works in partnership with the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education to implement its educational programs in alignment with national educational priorities. This collaboration facilitates the implementation of programs in public schools and enhances the quality of training provided to teachers, thereby supporting the development of the educational environment and achieving sustainable impact at the student level.
Dr. Tafeeda Jarbawi, Chair of the Board of Directors, emphasized that these partnerships align with the organization’s vision of investing in young men and women, highlighting the importance of integration between academic institutions and development sector actors to achieve sustainable impact.
Representatives of the partner universities expressed their appreciation for this initiative, affirming their commitment to strengthening cooperation with national institutions in ways that positively impact higher education outcomes and enhance graduates’ readiness to enter the labor market.
This partnership seeks to establish an effective collaborative model between civil society organizations and higher education institutions, supporting innovation, enhancing opportunities for applied learning, and contributing to preparing a generation capable of leading positive change in society.
This collaboration also aligns with Teach for Palestine’s mission to support quality education at the lower basic stage through developing teachers’ capacities, promoting inclusive education, and employing modern teaching methods.
