Text transcribed from caption: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. UNRWA/T/ESJGN/4. Education under canvas in emergency refugee camps in East Jordan. It was in large tents like this, rushed in for the emergency, that UNRWA was able to keep education going for the refugee children involved in the exodus of June 1967. Today they are still in use as classrooms in the emergency camps of East Jordan and in Syria. Some 25 per cent of the 270,000 newly-displaced persons (after June, 1967) from West Jordan are children of school age: the only way their education can go uninterrupted is through an extensive programme of "double shifting" in existing school buildings in east Jordan, together with the use of large marquee tents. Tented classrooms are, however, gradually being replaced in the emergency camps by prefabricated classrooms. 769DB.
