(U.S. Government Accountability Office-GAO) The U.S. government funded $243 million for education assistance in the West Bank and Gaza for fiscal years 2015 through 2017. UNRWA purchased English language textbooks used in UNRWA schools with funds that consist of contributions from donor countries, including the U.S. To address content deemed as not aligned with UN values, UNRWA created complementary teaching materials, such as alternate photos and examples, to use with the textbooks in UNRWA schools. However, UNRWA did not train teachers or distribute the complementary teaching materials to classrooms. As a result, these materials were not used in UNRWA classrooms. The annual appropriations acts for fiscal years 2015 through 2017 require the State Department to report to Congress on several topics, including steps UNRWA has taken to ensure that the content of all educational materials taught in UNRWA schools is consistent with the values of human rights, dignity, and tolerance, and do not induce incitement. 2019-06-07 00:00:00Full Article
