Ramtha – The National Centre for Human Rights (NCHR) conducted a two-day training workshop on 4–5 November 2026 for teachers from the Ministry of Education in Ramtha District. Held at Al-Nahda Mixed Secondary School, the workshop aimed to strengthen teachers’ capacity to integrate human rights concepts into education and translate rights-based knowledge into everyday teaching practices that promote safe, inclusive and respectful learning environments.
The workshop forms part of the NCHR’s strategic efforts to promote human rights awareness and strengthen the integration of human rights principles into education. It recognises teachers as key partners in transferring knowledge to students and fostering equality, justice and non-discrimination.
The training addressed fundamental human rights principles, the International Bill of Human Rights, the NCHR’s mandate to protect and promote human rights, and the right to education. It also explored approaches to integrating human rights concepts into Jordanian curricula.
Sessions further examined the role of teachers in promoting human rights within schools, encouraging respect for rights and responsibilities, equal opportunities, dialogue, tolerance and respect for diversity, while supporting meaningful student participation.
Through interactive discussions and group exercises, participants explored practical ways to connect human rights principles with everyday educational situations and incorporate them into classroom practices.
The workshop’s intended impact extends beyond the participating teachers. By strengthening their professional knowledge and skills, the programme seeks to promote greater awareness of rights and responsibilities among students and encourage rights-respecting, inclusive and participatory school environments.
This initiative reflects the NCHR’s commitment to the sustainable impact of its capacity-building programmes by enabling educators to share human rights knowledge within their institutions and contribute to a culture of human dignity, equality and the rule of law.
