Beit-lahm joins UNESCO Learning Cities Network

The Palestinian National Committee for Education, Culture and Science (PCECS) announced that Beit-lahm became a member of the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities, an international network that supports and improves the practice of lifelong learning in the world’s cities by promoting policy dialogue and peer learning among member cities; forging links; fostering partnerships; providing capacity development; and developing instruments to encourage and recognize progress made in building learning cities.

PCECS praised Beit-lahm’s membership in the international network as a significant achievement as it contributes to achieving several learning goals, including ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting sustainable and flexible life-long learning opportunities for all.

It added that Beit-lahm’s membership in the international network would be announced during a ceremony to be held by the United Nations organization (UNESCO) on Wednesday.
