The latest study from the nonpartisan US Government Accountability Office USGAO confirms that UNRWA reviews education materials, trains teachers, and provides supplementary teaching documents to eliminate and ban problematic content. The actions were monitored and supported by the US Department of State.
The report also recognises UNRWA's conflict resolution and tolerance education programme, which ensures the teaching of human rights daily within UNRWA schools.
Disinformation about UNRWA's education programme is a cornerstone of a propaganda campaign to undermine and destroy the Agency.
These false and misleading allegations have been consistently debunked.
Once more the facts speak for themselves and continue to be underscored repeatedly by outside analysts.
Over half a million girls and boys in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon depend on UNRWA to learn.
The GAO report confirms, again, that UNRWA is constantly taking the right steps to address the challenges it faces and deliver quality education for Palestine Refugees.

UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. The United Nations General Assembly established UNRWA in 1949 with a mandate to provide humanitarian assistance and protection to registered Palestine refugees in the Agency's area of operations pending a just and lasting solution to their plight.
UNRWA operates in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, The Gaza Strip, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
Tens of thousands of Palestine refugees who lost their homes and livelihoods due to the 1948 conflict continue to be displaced and in need of support, nearly 75 years on.
UNRWA helps Palestine Refugees achieve their full potential in human development through quality services it provides in education, health care, relief and social services, protection, camp infrastructure and improvement, microfinance, and emergency assistance. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions.
