Amman: The Government of Japan has awarded a $660,663 grant to the non-governmental organization World Vision Japan (WVJ) to enhance inclusive education for vulnerable children in Amman. Japanese Ambassador to Jordan Asari Hideki and WVJ Project Manager deployed to World Vision’s office in Jordan, Ikenoya Rie, signed the agreement, which aims to create an educational environment accessible to all children, including those with disabilities and from disadvantaged backgrounds.
According to Jordan News Agency, 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. The initiative will also involve training teachers in seven primary schools on inclusive education methods and improving accessibility by providing barrier-free facilities and inclusive learning materials.
Community engagement will also be a key component, promoting a more supportive and accessible educational environment. Drawing on World Vision Japan’s expertise, the initiative seeks to reduce social disparities and empower vulnerable children in Jordan.
