School Cultural Mediation Project Dublin 7





School Cultural Mediation Project Dublin 7

They have Launched their Evaluation Report, although the government stopped funding the project.
لقد منعت الحكومة دعم هذه المنظمة التي كانت تترجم قصاصات الورق لجميع اللغات الغير انجليزية حتى تعلم اولاياء امور التلاميذ مذا يحدث بين المدرس والطالب. وهذه حركة تعلميمة مهمة حيث ان اولياء الامور لا يعلمون ماذا بقصاصات الورق التي تبعث مع ابنهم او بنتهم ولا يعرفون كيف يتعاملون مع المدرس. فهناك شئ مهم وهو ان التعليم البيتي ضروري عند ما يرجع التلميذ الى البيت.
