Damascus, SANA- Director of Planning and International Cooperation at the Ministry of Education, Youssef Annan, and Director of the National Center for Curriculum Development at the Ministry of Education Hussein al-Qassim discussed with representatives of the (UNICEF) mechanism for completing development of empowerment curriculum, which targets students who have dropped out of school in Syria.
Annan stated in a statement to the media following the meeting that the empowerment curriculum was discussed at the first, second and seventh levels, as well as the amendments that were made to it, and the coordination mechanism for the remaining levels, explaining that it includes all levels from the first to the eighth grade.
He explained that the empowerment curriculum is being prepared by the ministry with funding from UNICEF, and is an informal educational curriculum targeting students who have dropped out of the educational process.
In turn, Al-Qassim said that the aim of the meeting is to push forward the process of printing the empowering curriculum, which depends on self-learning through activities carried out by the student, who arrives at the information himself.
Al-Qassim pointed out that the students’ level in the enabling curriculum is determined by conducting tests, after which the students are sorted into the level specified for them based on the test result.
