In line with the government’s directives aimed at supporting and strengthening the resilience of Palestinian educational institutions, the National Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training visited the Women’s Community College in Ramallah – Al-Tireh, conveying a message of support and appreciation from H.E. Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mustafa to the educational and training institutions affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

During the visit, the National Commission emphasized the vital role played by the College in preparing and qualifying human resources, as well as its continued contribution to providing technical and vocational education and training opportunities for thousands of Palestinian students and youth. These efforts enhance their integration into the labour market and support the path of national development.

The Commission also stressed its readiness to provide all possible forms of support to these institutions, in line with its national role and responsibility in developing the technical and vocational education and training sector, and in harmony with government efforts aimed at preserving the continuity of UNRWA educational institutions and enabling them to continue fulfilling their developmental and humanitarian mission.

The National Commission affirmed that UNRWA educational and training institutions constitute a fundamental component of the Palestinian education system, and that preserving them and strengthening their capacity to provide services is a national priority, given the valuable services they have provided over decades in building the capacities of Palestinian youth and enhancing their readiness to enter the labour market and contribute to economic and social development.

This visit comes as part of a series of national meetings and efforts aimed at strengthening partnership and complementarity among the various institutions working in the technical and vocational education and training sector, in a manner that ensures the sustainability of educational and training services provided to the Palestinian people.
