Description

During the past years, UN Agencies and 3RP partners have supported the administration and infrastructures of the schools that accommodate refugee/asylum seeker children in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KR-I) as part of intervention to promote access to education. In light of the recently implemented Refugee Education Integration Policy (REIP), UNHCR Sub-Office Dohuk together with education actors consolidated the infrastructure need assessments. The result showed that there are overcrowding situation and suboptimal WASH facilities at many schools in the urban locations. Taking into consideration the needs, UNHCR has prioritized construction/expansion of the and improvement of WASH facilities of the schools in the most needed areas.

As to the construction of the schools, based on the need assessment, UNHCR has prioritized the most needed areas and that resulted in the plan for construction of the 18-classroom school in Domiz Moaskar area in Sumel District and the 12-classroom school in Malabrewan in Shekhan District. According to UNHCR data, there are sizable number of school-going age refugee/asylum seeker children (Basic School i.e. Grade 1-9) in the two districts (approximately 13,000 children in Sumel district and some 1,700 children in Shekhan). However, there are limited number of schools in both areas, of which the capacity is already overstretching as evidenced by the multiple shift teaching arrangement being in place. This arrangement has shortened teaching and studying hours and that resulted compromised quality of education and increase the rate of children out of school or school drop-out among other protection concerns. In light of the aforementioned situation, the construction of the schools in Domiz Moaskar and Malabrewan will help improve access to education and minimize protection concerns therein.
