Education Program Coordinator (West Bank)

Background:

Arena’s education program has focused on early childhood development (ECD) but has also included infrastructural development for primary, secondary, and tertiary education sectors. We have also provided specialist training for university graduates.

Over the past 15 years, our ECD program renovated and built two hundred kindergartens; trained over a thousand teachers and worked with thousands of parents to improve the care and education of children in the community. Anera was also instrumental in developing Palestine’s first kindergarten curriculum with the Ministry of Education. In Gaza, in recent months, we helped establish and support tens of temporary learning spaces (TLSs) and have begun to re-establish existing kindergartens to support K–6 children. Where possible, we also provide recreational activities, PSS, health, and nutritional support to children in schools and shelters.

Anera is looking to strengthen its program and seeks an education program coordinator to assist its team in the West Bank to manage and grow this vital work.

Key tasks/Responsibilities:

• Assist in developing concept notes, proposals, and budgets
• Participate in the planning of educational project activities
• Collate and develop educational materials for teachers and students
• Oversee the collection of monitoring information in support of our MEAL team
