Doha: Al Jazeera Children’s Channel and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in the education field.
The MoU will enable Al Jazeera Children’s Channel to provide UNRWA with education tools and resources to be used by the latter's own TV satellite channel.
This will also provide UNRWA teachers and students with access to Al Jazeera Taalam TV’s online services and content, technical support, and training to enhance the Agency’s own programmes.
Commenting on the signing, Acting Executive General Manager and Director of Al Jazeera Kids Saad Saleh al-Hudaifi said that the channel is "keen on enhancing the potential of orphans and refugee children, as well as providing learning opportunities and services, which aim at preparing them to be effective and productive members of their societies."
For his part, Commissioner-General of UNRWA Krahenbuhl said, "This continued collaboration with Al Jazeera Children’s Channel will help to enhance our education programme, particularly the work we are doing to ensure access to education for Palestine refugee students whose regular schooling may be impacted by conflict."
