Text transcribed from caption: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. UNRWA/ETJR/24. Recreation at Ramallah Men's Teacher Training Centre: near Jerusalem. Recreation is an integral part of the Ramallah Men's Teachers Training Centre. Ramallah Centre, like all UNRWA vocational training centres is residential and provides a programme designed to give its students the opportunity for all-round development. The majority of the students were either born in or spent much of their lives in refugee camps. As a result, they have not had the time to develop work habits or discipline and were unsuited for almost any sort of employment. The two year course at the UNRWA Teacher Training Centre does much to help the boys gain self-reliance and enables them to contribute constructively to the future of the Middle East. The capacity of the school in 400 with 200 new students accepted each year. In all UNRWA has established four teacher training centres with a total enrollment of nearly 1,500. Curricula follows closely that of the government centres in their respective countries. Courses include academic lessons, instruction in teaching methods and period of practice teaching in nearby schools. Agency training is unconditional. Graduate students are free to seek employment in Saudi Arabia and other Arab states. Results to date have been excellent. Of the 585 students who graduated from the Ramallah centre in '65, '66 and '67, 390 are employed in Arab countries, 849

The young men enjoying their lunch at the Ramallah Men's Teacher Training Centre near Jerusalem are among the luckier young Arab refugees. Through the UNRWA teacher training programme, they will soon take their place in the Middle East as qualified elementary teachers. Ramallah is one of four teacher training centres established by UNRWA to give young Arab refugees an opportunity to develop their talents and thus escape from the poverty and frustrations of camp life.

Description:
Text transcribed from caption: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. UNRWA/ETJR/25 Science studies for future Arab refugee teachers. Science is an important course of study at UNRWA's Ramallah Men's Teacher Training Centre near Jerusalem.

In the field of specialized studies students may select any one of such subjects as Arabic, Social Studies, Mathematics or Science, at a more advanced level according to their abilities and interests. Ramallah Men's Centre is one of four teacher training centres established by UNRWA to give young Arab refugees an opportunity to develop their talents and thus escape from the poverty and frustration of camp life. The two year course at a residential training centre does much to help the boys gain self reliance and to enable them to contribute constructively to the future of the fast developing Middle East. Agency training is unconditional. Graduate students are free to seek employment in Saudi Arabia and other Arab states. Results to date have been excellent. Of the 585 students who graduated from the Ramallah Centre in '65, '66 and '67, 390 are employed in Arab countries.

Description:
Text transcribed from caption: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. UNRWA/ETJR/27. Quiet surrounding for study: Ramallah Men's Teacher Training Centre, near Jerusalem. With libraries such as this one at the Ramallah Men's Teacher Training Centre, Arab refugee students are able to concentrate more fully on their studies. All study, recreation and classroom periods of the students are concentrated within the Centre in order to provide the opportunity for better development of the total person. These young men have spent all or a majority of their lives in refugee camps and as a result have not had the opportunity to develop the discipline necessary for an intensive training course. The two year residency course at the Centre does much to help the boys gain self-reliance and enables them to contribute constructively to the future of the Middle East. Ramallah Men's Teacher Training Centre was established in 1960 and expanded in 1962. The capacity of the school is 400 with 200 new students accepted each year. Training is unconditional. Graduate students are free to seek employment in Saudi Arabia and other Arab States. 849.
