HOMEWORK VILLAGE IN JORDAN

The concept of the homework village is an environment, located within the public elementary school, where underprivileged students attend and receive help doing their homework. The goal of such a practice is to strengthen students in the subjects where they need assistance and to provide challenge to students who are in need of this in specific subjects, mainly focusing on Mathematics, English and Arabic language. The homework village will be set up for selected 3rd grade mixed gender and 5th graders only for girls in a school in the 2nd educational district in Amman. It has been approved by the Jordanian Ministry of Education and developed with the support and work of teachers from the Jordanian education system. The structure of the homework village will follow the rules of the Jordanian system, i.e. with regard to segregation of the sexes after the 3rd grade and the sexes of the volunteers.

On a daily basis Jordanian volunteers, selected exclusively by the project group, will run the homework village. These volunteers, being students from universities will undergo a series of courses and receive training, enabling them to work together in creating a safe and constructive environment for the learning of the children.

Who are we The project is made possible through the collaboration of WE Center, Amman and Save the Children Youth and is funded by the Danish partner organisation in collaboration with DUF (Danish Youth Council). The group responsible for the development of the homework village consists of both Jordanian and Danish volunteers and has been underway for more than two years.

Our vision The long-term goal, beyond boosting the enthusiasm with which children look upon their homework, is to strengthen the knowledge of children’s educational rights in general and promote youth volunteer work. The success of homework villages like the one being developed in Amman is widely known and acknowledged
