The Jordanian coalition was established in
2009 due to an initiative by ANHRE to remind the government of its
international commitments to improve the quality of education, ensure openness
to challenges and acknowledge, address and monitor them as education is the key
to human rights, in addition to urging the government to prioritize expenditure
on education and increase the educational development budget. The coalition also calls for networking among
civil society organizations to exchange experiences and implement programmes in
educational development, institutionalization in the Ministry of Education,
encourage donors and the private sector to assume social responsibility and
contribute to funding education and expand efforts to address violence in
schools, in addition to activate educational monitoring, counselling and
training to provide a safe learning environment, promote a human rights
approach and open opportunities for students to express their opinions, ideas
and peaceful conflict resolution
