Educational supervisor training

Ramallah, October 18 – Within the framework of the project "Developing Digital skills and Education for Sustainable Development through Distance Learning in Palestine", funded by Japan, UNESCO Ramallah and the Ministry of Education launched training to produce educational videos for the Palestine Educational TV Channel. The training on educational design, technical skills and best practice guidelines took place at Al-Quds Open University in Ramallah starting 18-25 October 2021. The training targeted 30 key trainers over 25 training hours. It will be followed by the training of 75 teachers in various governorates around the country.

UNESCO Ramallah’s Education Unit supports the Ministry of Education in achieving its distance learning goals by developing and enhancing the Palestine Educational broadcast channel through the provision of devices and equipment as well as building the capacities of educational supervisors, teachers, and TV staff to improve their digital and 21st century skills.

Tharwat Zaid, Assistant Deputy-Minister at the Ministry of Education, emphasized: “It is important to incorporate technology in education and there is a need to break away from the traditional pattern of education to a more interactive and child-centered approach. We need to make transition from quantity to quality education to ensure the active participation of students in the learning process.”
