Separate but Equal?

For 70 years Jordan 🇯🇴 has been assisting Palestinian refugees. Not only has Jordan 🇯🇴 helped with shelter, food, and health care, but Jordan and various organizations have worked to provide education. We had the honor of meeting with members from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNWRA) and we visited one of the schools they oversee. We learned of the recent cut of 65 million from the original 125 million that the United States usually gives to this program which, in the end, may prove tragic to the thousands of children who attend school and fuel more problems down the road. Interestingly, separate schools, different from the government operated schools, have been established by the UNRWA. Is this fair?  Do all students receive the same, high quality education?  Does having a separate school for Palestinian children promote a sense of “otherness “?  With a lack of funding, what will happen to these children?
