Methodology – Refugee Education in Jordan
DEFINING FRAMEWORK OF EFFECTIVE EDUCATION
To compare and contrast various educational programs for refugees in Jordan, this project utilizes a methodological framework that relies on both qualitative and quantitative evidence that illustrates the efficacy of different approaches. Drawing from the work of Katarina Tomaševski, the first UN Special Rapporteur on the right to education, the following case studies of both normative and non-normative humanitarian programs are evaluated using the 4-As framework (De Beco 2009). The 4-A’s have been interpreted as follows:- First, availability examines whether education is generally available.
- Second, accessibility focuses on the various obstacles in accessing education.
- Third, acceptability evaluates the various aspects of the content of education.
- Fourth, adaptability examines whether education is adapted to the needs of various categories of people.
