The NRC Lebanon Education Programme supports vulnerable Lebanese and refugee children (aged 4-15) and youth (16-30) in realizing their right to education and skill development, through quality, accessible, age- and level-appropriate non-formal education services for out-of-school children, children at risk of dropping out, and youth. Interventions are aligned with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) National Strategy, the Lebanon Response Plan and the Education Cluster guidance.
The Education Technical Coordinator provides practical, day-to-day technical, quality and coordination support to partner organisations delivering NRC's Education and Youth programming, ensuring partners implement activities in line with NRC guidance, donor requirements and national frameworks, and that programming is consistent and safe.

- Provide inductions, trainings, refreshers and practical coaching to partner staff on facilitation methods, NRC tools, inclusive practices and safe programming.
- Conduct regular partner monitoring visits to observe sessions, verify tool usage and ensure adherence to quality and safeguarding standards; provide structured feedback.
- Review partner documentation (attendance sheets, reports, lesson plans, activity records) for consistency and compliance.

- Support partners in using NRC-approved data collection tools (Excel, Kobo, templates) and coordinate with M&E on data verification, indicator tracking and donor reporting inputs.
- Document lessons learned, participant feedback and good practice.
- Liaise with NRC internal teams (M&E, Grants, Logistics, Education Specialist) and represent NRC at MEHE/Education Sector coordination meetings.
- Ensure safeguarding, protection mainstreaming and child-sensitive approaches in all partner activities.
