Campaign Co-ordinator,
Right To Education Campaign, Birzeit University

The Right to Education Campaign was established in May 2002 by an academic
committee of Birzeit University to raise awareness locally and nationally
about the severe crisis facing Palestinian education.  The Israeli policy
of closures, curfews and checkpoints is disrupting the education of more
than a million schoolchildren, and 70,000 university and college students,
as well as the operation of essential research institutes and
libraries.   The Campaign seeks to bring pressure to bear on all
decision-makers and ultimately the Israeli authorities to guarantee safe
and free access of all Palestinians to their educational
institutions.  Based in Birzeit University's PR department and working with
the Campaign Committee, your role will be to manage the various aspects of
the campaign - gathering human rights information, updating the website,
overseeing the production of multi-media materials, coordinating with
international groups/institutions, following up the cases of staff/students
under detention and supporting student initiatives.  Essential
requirements: proven research skills in human rights information gathering
and report writing; good ability in e-communication and websites;
initiative to work with a diverse range of people under constantly changing
circumstances and fluent English.
