Statement of UNRWA on the use of PLO school books

Statement From: “ALRIFAI, Tamara”

(UNRWA SPOKESWOMAN, JULY 31, 2021)

Q:As a result of the memo with the US, will UNRWA be making any revisions in its curriculum?

A: UNRWA does not have a curriculum, nor does it have or print its own textbooks. In line with refugee education best practice, UNRWA uses host governments’ curricula to allow children to transition from UNRWA schools to local schools.

UNRWA spokeswoman went on to justify UNRWA use of texts from the Palestine Liberation Organization.,,as if the PLO is a host government.

PLO texts, used by UNRWA, constitute a curriculum of war.
