- The project, based in Amman, will focus on early disability detection and intervention in four kindergarten facilities
AMMAN: Japan has awarded a $660,663 grant to World Vision Japan to enhance inclusive education for vulnerable children in Amman, the Jordan News Agency, known as Petra, reported on Sunday.
The agreement was signed by Japanese Ambassador to Jordan Asari Hideki and WVJ project manager Ikenoya Rie, who is deployed to World Vision’s office in Jordan.
The initiative aims to create an accessible educational environment for all children, particularly those with disabilities and from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The project, based in Amman, will focus on early disability detection and intervention in four kindergarten facilities while strengthening the capacity of educators and caregivers to support children with diverse learning needs.
Teachers in seven primary schools will also receive training on inclusive education methods, and accessibility will be improved through the provision of barrier-free facilities and inclusive learning materials.
Community engagement will play a key role in the initiative, promoting a more supportive and inclusive educational environment, according to Petra.
By drawing on World Vision Japan’s expertise, the program seeks to reduce social disparities and empower vulnerable children, ensuring they receive the education and support needed to thrive, it added.
