EDUCATION
TYO’s curriculum was developed in partnership with Columbia University's School of Social Work. It’s the first psycho-social, non-formal curriculum created in Palestine for children and youth in conflict.
ages 2-5
Early Childhood Education
TYO has observed that Palestinian children who struggle academically often lack a strong foundation in their early childhood years. This is primarily due to limited resources, overcrowded living spaces, and unstable home environments. Together with the support of QFFD, TYO is dedicated to providing high-quality educational and developmental assistance to Palestine's youngest children, particularly as they prepare to enter kindergarten.
The main outcome of this program is to ensure that children aged 2-5 develop essential physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional skills. This is of critical importance in Palestine, where access to early childhood education is largely unavailable for most children in this age group. Key activities include teacher training, the establishment of safe and nurturing learning environments, and granting young children access to quality early childhood development resources. We also provide support to parents, helping them foster consistent, nurturing, and supportive behaviors while promoting learning with their children. Additionally, we strive to ensure that children, including both boys and girls with disabilities, have access to appropriate nutrition and comprehensive mental health services.

Primary Education
At our primary education program, we strive to overcome the challenges faced by primary school-aged children in Palestine. These children often encounter obstacles that prevent them from receiving an education, such as conflicts, military operations, or the destruction of their schools. Insufficient resources like textbooks, desks, and materials further hinder their learning. Moreover, many families in Palestine live in poverty, making it difficult for children to afford school supplies and engage in extracurricular activities. Limited educational opportunities, particularly for girls and children with disabilities, exacerbate these challenges. The ongoing conflict in Palestine adds to the volatility and uncertainty in children's lives, impacting their ability to learn and succeed in school.
Our program aims to make a significant impact on the lives of these young learners. We are dedicated to ensuring that school-age children develop essential skills in literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional well-being. By providing engaging instruction and holistic support, we strive to decrease dropout rates and empower children in UNRWA schools. Through activities such as teacher training, integration of social-emotional learning in lesson plans, and the creation of supportive and safe learning environments, we are committed to providing evidence-based education to children in need. Furthermore, our program integrates psychosocial and health education to help youth understand their mental and physical development, make informed choices, build resilience, and nurture their leadership qualities.

Adolescent Education
Our adolescent education program addresses the unique challenges faced by young individuals in Palestine. As they transition into adolescence, many continue to confront obstacles that hinder their education. The impact of conflict and military operations often leads to school disruptions or the destruction of educational institutions. Lack of basic resources like textbooks, desks, and materials further impede their learning journey. Additionally, poverty within many Palestinian families creates financial barriers for students, limiting their access to necessary school supplies and extracurricular activities. Educational opportunities remain limited, especially for girls and children with disabilities. The ongoing conflict intensifies the volatility and uncertainty in the lives of adolescents, negatively affecting their ability to learn and thrive academically.
The program aims to empower these young individuals and equip them with essential skills for their future. We are committed to fostering literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional development among adolescents, particularly boys and girls attending UNRWA schools. Through engaging instruction and comprehensive support, we strive to reduce dropout rates and enhance academic proficiency. Our program encompasses various initiatives, including teacher training, integration of social-emotional learning in lesson plans, and the creation of supportive and secure learning environments. We also provide evidence-based education tailored to the needs of adolescents, integrating psychosocial and health education. By doing so, we help them gain a deeper understanding of their mental and physical growth, make responsible choices, cultivate resilience, and develop leadership skills.

Dropout Prevention
In Nablus City, a vulnerable group in this age range comprises high school students residing in the refugee camps of Balata, Old and New Askar, and Al-Ein camp. Until the ninth grade, these students attend UNRWA schools located within the camps. However, upon entering the tenth grade, the Palestinian education system transfers them to public schools outside the refugee camps in Nablus. Both parents and children have expressed that this transition presents significant academic and social challenges for these young individuals.
A considerable number of these students encounter serious academic difficulties. Furthermore, their parents lack the necessary educational background to support their children, and they are unable to afford private tutoring. Consequently, many of these students do not view university education as a viable option due to the demanding Tawjihi exam requirements and the associated expenses. The limited prospects for their future often lead to disappointment, resulting in some students dropping out of school and engaging in high-risk behaviors, including substance abuse, involvement in street violence, and early marriages.
The primary objective of this program is to ensure that struggling students in the 11th and 12th grades overcome poor performance and educational barriers, thereby improving their academic achievements and successfully passing the national Tawjihi exam. We offer subject-based classes and personalized one-on-one tutoring in subjects such as math, chemistry, physics, technology, Arabic, and English. This highly sought-after program has supported numerous youth in maintaining their educational journey, achieving success in the national Tawjihi exam. Additionally, the program provides mentoring to assist students in identifying their future educational and career paths. Scholarships are offered, and connections to internships and universities are facilitated, with a link to our entrepreneurship program as well.
