AMMAN — Generations For Peace (GFP) and the Ministry of Education signed on Monday a memorandum of understanding to renew and expand their collaboration to address the issue of violence in schools.

The project trains teachers to reduce violence in schools using sport and arts-based activities, according to a GFP statement.

“With the increased overcrowding and pressures on our schools due to the Syrian refugee crisis, we must continue to reduce violence in the classroom and ensure that teachers can focus on delivering quality education to benefit the future of all students,” the statement quoted HRH Prince Feisal, GFP founder and chairman, as saying.

Education Minister Mohammad Thneibat said the project is “positively transforming teacher and student responses to conflict in our schools”.

The memo expands the programme from the current locations in Irbid, Ruseifa and Amman to include schools in Karak and Ajloun.
