P.A.C.E.
P.A.C.E. aims to increase the quality of early childhood education systems in Palestine by promoting the activation of an integrated public-private system, the upgrading of school contexts and the awareness of sustainability.

Christian schools and civil society organizations manage 94.31% of early childhood education. The fragmentation of the education system and the lack of dialogue within the private sector and between the public and private sectors make the development and coordinated management of the early childhood education system more difficult. Added to this is the low level of children's attendance in pre-school education (40%, UNESCO Office Ramallah), compared to 56% globally (UNESCO 2016).








The project supports the Palestinian government so as to increase the quality and accessibility of education services by encouraging the activation of an integrated public-private education system.
Fondazione started a dialogue with local partners to activate an integrated public-private system for early childhood education, the design and requalification of school spaces in Palestinian schools, and the opening of a creative reuse centre as an opportunity to offer professional development and exchange initiatives among teachers and to raise awareness in terms of sustainability.
