Jweiles: Establishing an Academy for Vocational and Technical Education in the Outskirts of Jerusalem is a Necessity

Dr. Ziad Jweiles, the President of the National TVET Commission, affirmed his full readiness to assist the Beir-Nabala Development and Development Association in establishing a specialized academy for vocational and technical education in the town of Beir Nabala north-west of occupied Jerusalem, in coordination with relevant ministries and authorities. Dr. Jweiles's affirmations came during a field visit to the town of Beir-Nabala, in response to an invitation from the Beir Nabala Development and Development Association to inspect the proposed site for establishing the specialized academy, accompanied by Dr. Imad Salem, Mr. Firas Tannina, and Mr. Saif Anati, while being received by the association's president and philanthropist Hajj Tawfiq al-Nabali, and Mr. Samer Subh from the association. Dr. Jweiles expressed admiration for the proposed site for establishing the academy, which the association aimed to establish as an industrial school, but Dr. Jweiles confirmed that the location of the land and its area are suitable for an integrated multi-level academy for the vocational and technical education sector, to be built and equipped to be a pioneering Palestinian model. For his part, Hajj Tawfiq al-Nabali emphasized that the academy serves 15 Palestinian towns and villages located in the outskirts of Jerusalem, which have been separated by the annexation and expansion wall from the city of Jerusalem, despite being adjacent to it, and they are in urgent need of establishing an institution for vocational and technical education and training, given the urgent need of the region for this institution, in terms of training and qualifying Palestinian youth to meet the needs of the labor market.
