Jacqueline Sfeir (16 April 1956 – 5 April 2013) was a Palestinian expert in early childhood education.




Education


Sfeir was a student in the first class when Bethlehem University started taking students in 1973. Her doctoral work centered on pre-schooling and education.




Career


In 1985 Sfeir was a founder of the Early Childhood Resource Centre in Jerusalem; the goal of the group was to improve education for pre-school children. She worked with teachers and parents to change the conditions under which children were educated.
In 1989 Sfeir spoke of how drawings by Palestinian children reflected their upbringing during times of regional conflict. In 2005, her presentation in British Columbia was questioned given her opposition to cooperation with Israel.
In 2001, she was appointed to a five-year term as a member of the Pontifical Council for the Laity. In 2005, she founded MaDad, an independent company that uses and develops the Holistic Integrated Approach, also referred to as holistic education, in its work with both local and regional actors who deal and interact daily with children.
In 2007 Sfeir was elected to receive a fellowship from the non-profit organization Ashoka.
She died of cancer on 5 April 2013, at the age of 56.
