Nonpartisan entities do not serve political agendas. They let facts speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The latest study from the nonpartisan US Government Accountability Office USGAO confirms that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA reviews education materials, trains teachers, and provides supplementary teaching documents to eliminate and ban problematic content. The actions were monitored and supported by the US Department of State.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The report also recognises Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA\u2019s conflict resolution and tolerance education programme, which ensures the teaching of human rights daily within Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA schools.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Disinformation about Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA’s education programme is a cornerstone of a propaganda campaign to undermine and destroy the Agency.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These false and misleading allegations have been consistently debunked.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Once more the facts speak for themselves and continue to be underscored repeatedly by outside analysts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Over half a million girls and boys in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon depend on Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA to learn.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The GAO report confirms, again, that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA is constantly taking the right steps to address the challenges it faces and deliver quality education for Palestine Refugees.<\/div>\n
