Out of School Youth
Approximately 31,000 Jordanian and 90,000 Syrian youth are out of school.
In Jordan, when a youth is out of school for three years or more, they are ineligible to return to formal school.
Given the influx of refugees to Jordan, the formal school system has been overwhelmed and unable to serve all youth.

The Questscope - MoENon-Formal Education Program
One Solution Questscope’s NFE is a second-chance program
created in partnership with the Ministry of Education (MoE) to serve out-of-school youth, including both refugees and Jordanians.
The non-formal education program serves males 13 – 18 and females 13 – 20 who have been out of school for at least one year.
NFE is a certified two-year program for social and emotional learning in which youth meet with facilitators five days a week, study nine different subjects, and participate in educational dialogues and activities.

Four principles that contribute to the effectiveness of PLM & NFE
(1) education that builds critical consciousness
(2) change in individuals linked to changes in institutions and policy
(3) participation leading to increased personal agency
(4) support to every individual to develop moral and intellectual insight.

Participatory Learning MethodologyAt the core of the NFE program is Questscope’s Participatory Learning Methodology (PLM), a dialogue-based system for delivering academic curriculum through teaching strategies that increase personal agency for youth, who become active learners and contributors to their educational progress. Learners in Questscope’s NFE centers develop personally as well as academically, forging pro-social community within their classrooms and beyond.

After NFENon-Formal Education is the only certified alternative education pathway in Jordan.
Graduates of NFE are eligible to earn a certificate of completion, which is officially recognized by the MoE as fulfilling entry requirements to the expert level of vocational training, which in turn allows its graduates to own their own small businesses. The NFE certificate also provides a continued pathway for education, as it allows—currently on a case-by-case basis—for students to take the 9th grade test and begin homeschooling at the tenth grade level if they desire, according to MoE guidelines.
