This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

UNESCO Ramallah Office is supporting the Palestinian Ministry of Education in updating the Education Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP). In this context, the Ministry requires a new simulation model that can: forecast the development of its fundamental educational system data; identify developmental requirements based on educational policies and scenarios that will achieve the new goals and objectives; and estimate the resource implications of its planned actions and determine the strategy to finance them with domestic and external resources. UNESCO offers technical assistance and capacity building support to the Ministry of Education in estimating the resources associated with education policies and plans using Excel-based education simulation models. This training workshop aims at introducing the key concepts and techniques used in simulation modelling and its implications for policies and planning in the Palestinian education sector.

UNESCO Ramallah Office is looking for three online volunteers to provide simultaneous interpretation from English to Arabic during the Training Workshop on Policy Simulation and Costing for the Palestinian Education Sector. The training workshop which will be mainly in Engligh will include three sessions over two weeks. Each session is expected to last for two hours. Session 1: Introduction to simulation models and simulating the Palestinian education system (Monday, 08 November 2021). Session 2: Continued hands-on exercise with SimuED (Thursday, 11 November 2021). Session 3: Simulating the resources needed and funding gap of the updated ESSP (Monday, 15 November 2021)

Candidates must be proficient in both English and Arabic. Familiarity with technical terms related the training workshop or previous experience in simultaneous interpretation will be considered an advantage.
