University of the PeopleOnline Only, Associate degrees and batchelor degrees in 3-4 core subjects. All classes in English. Small Class Sizes and strong community feel vs Moocs. In September, 2015, UoPeople announced that it will provide at least 500 scholarships
to Syrian refugees. The University is also hoping to Arabize its program to better serve
Syrian and other Arab refugees who do not have suffcient English language skills to
enrol in its current programs. Students would be expected to learn English over the
course of the frst three years with the goal of enrolling in courses conducted in English
in their fnal year. This will allow them to engage in discussions with students from
multicultural backgrounds in their fnal year of study. The program hopes to offer 10,000
students placements over a 10-year period, provided that funding for the initiative
can be secured. In addition, students would be supported by Syrian staff, who would
ease their transition and guide them throughout the online educational experience.
This model would simultaneously provide opportunities for Syrian students and adults
seeking employment.

SABISlebanese education initiatvie with experience helping refugees. Large donation by george and amal clooney & google & virgin. Aims to put every child in lebanon into school. Digitally-driven pop-up low-cost schools with a cadre of trained teachers that will get students on track to one day graduate from high school and enter the workforce. Self-driven learning will be supplemented by formal classes led by a trained teacher. Teachers will use an interactive whiteboard and the children will work from tablets and laptops with a pre-loaded interactive curriculum. All teaching will be in English except for Arabic language classes. This is how children are currently taught at SABIS schools in Lebanon – in English with bilingual reference materials – meaning they automatically learn English in this immersive way.

We will also develop signature courses such as Civic Engagement and Human Rights and Coding to equip the children to be empowered, open-minded citizens who embrace the digital age. Assessment data identifies gaps in learning and creates tailored accellerated remediation plans for school / pupil.

Google partnership of employee volunteering to help with everything from connectivity to cloud storage by having Googlers helping both on the ground and remotely.

Curriculum accredited in Lebanon but aligned to US standards

Vodaphone Foundation : Instant schools network and instant schools (lite)UNHCR in
collaboration with the Vodafone Foundation has piloted a program called the Instant

at the primary, secondary, and vocational levels are provided with pedagogical training,
coupled with technological devices to teach their content. While the pilot is ongoing,
anecdotal evidence suggests that primary enrollment and retention rates have increased,
clearing the way for the expansion of the program to other countries in Africa.

Stage 2: The Jamiya Project is collaborating with Empower Hack to build a prototype of the 'Jamiya VocApp': a mobile and web application to assist students Syrian starting courses in Europe in a second language (English, German and French) with learning relevant academic technical vocabulary through a peer-to-peer micro-learning platform. The platform will provide contextualised translation of terms Arabic<>English/German/French, online support from Syrian peers and Syrian academics, and an intuitive learning software to help speed students' transition into a new course in an unfamiliar language.
