Al-Istiqlal urges universities to issue diplomas regardless of debt
The article focused on the appeal issued by the National Committee for Judicial Independence and the Rule of Law to the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education, demanding the issuance of a circular requiring all private higher education institutions not to withhold or block university degrees from graduates due to financial debts. This comes in response to a judicial ruling issued by the Nablus Court of Appeals in June 2026, which confirmed that a university degree is an acquired right for the student once academic requirements are fulfilled. The ruling stated that it is not permissible to use the degree as collateral for debts or to hold it hostage, and claims by the university should be pursued through legal channels without infringing upon the student's rights. The goal of this circular is to unify practices across the sector and support graduates' rights, especially amid the difficult economic circumstances facing the Palestinian people, while emphasizing the importance of respecting universities' right to collect their dues through legal means.
