Khaberni - The Japanese government announced the provision of a financial grant worth 635,656 US dollars to the World Vision Japan organization to support a project to expand the scope of education in early childhood and elementary education for everyone in the East Amman area.
The grant, which was signed by the Japanese ambassador in Amman, Asari Hideki, and the project director in the World Vision office in Jordan, Akinoiya Rie, aims to support the creation of an inclusive educational environment for vulnerable groups in the capital, Amman, ensuring that all children have access to education and its continuity.
According to a press release distributed by the Japanese Embassy today, Wednesday, the project will be implemented over three years, focusing in its first year on establishing a sustainable and proactive system to enhance inclusive education in the East Amman area, which hosts large numbers of refugees and people with disabilities in Jordan.
The statement pointed out that World Vision Japan has been supporting the education sector in public schools in the Kingdom since 2014, in cooperation with the organization's Syrian Response Office, while the Japanese government provided a grant worth 660,663 US dollars in 2025 to implement a similar project to enhance inclusive education in Amman.
The statement noted that the new project comes as a continuation of previous initiatives, where it will work on developing four kindergartens and seven elementary schools previously supported to become model schools, in addition to establishing a system that allows teachers of these schools to act as trainers and consultants, providing support and guidance to neighboring schools.
It explained that this approach will contribute to generalizing the project's outcomes, expanding the scope of its benefits, in addition to ensuring the sustainability of inclusive education practices after the implementation period which lasts three years, ultimately developing a practical model applicable on a broader scale in the future.
The project will target 14 kindergartens and 20 primary schools through a set of axes, notably the early detection of disabilities and the provision of individual support, building the capacities of teachers and school management committees, enhancing the supportive local systems for inclusive education, in addition to knowledge exchange and promoting dialogue with the Ministry of Education and Education.
