The UNESCO-USA-Brazil Teaching Respect for All Project has the goal of outlining a curriculum structure that promotes tolerance, adaptable to the contexts and necessities of different countries.
Funded by the Office of Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al Missned, First Lady of Qatar and UNESCO special envoy for Basic and Higher education, the Curriculum Development project aims to contribute to modernization and reconciliation in Iraqi society by reformulating the Iraqi school curriculum and textbooks.
The Project provides technical assistance to develop skills in curriculum development and curriculum assessment, thereby increasing the value added of the new curriculum in terms of impact on students' knowledge acquisition and their achievement.
"There's a lot of reasons why we feel this is a really important project to take forward - to embed information rights into the curriculum, " she said.
