The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is one of the main actors in the Palestinian education system. UNRWA runs "703 schools, 9 vocational colleges, 2 educational science faculties and 2 teacher-training institutes". These institutions are not only run in the Palestinian Territories, but also in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, where many Palestinian refugees live. The website provides ample information, sorted by region and by type of programme (e.g. skills, Human Rights Education, university scholarship, teacher and vocational training). You will also find some statistical data and reports. [Abstract: Editors of Education Worldwide supplemented by site editor’s information]
