846,000 Students Begin School Year in West Bank
The 2026/2027 school year begins in Palestine, with approximately 846,000 male and female students enrolling in schools across the West Bank and Gaza Strip. They are distributed among more than 2,537 schools, overseen by about 54,000 teachers. In the West Bank, preparations include the construction of 17 new schools and their expansion, supported by investments exceeding $26 million. This aims to increase capacity to accommodate approximately 6,000 students gradually, from preschool through secondary education. Additionally, 104 schools have been repaired and rehabilitated, with further expansion projects underway to improve the quality of the educational environment. In Gaza, classes for teachers commenced on September 16, and for students on September 19. There is a plan to establish 700 learning centers and temporary schools, along with continued virtual learning for students unable to attend in person, due to extraordinary circumstances related to logistical challenges and weather conditions. The Ministry is persisting in efforts to strengthen infrastructure and training, as well as protecting schools in "C" classified areas, providing transportation and psychological support to ensure the continuity of education despite the obstacles imposed by occupation and restrictions in Jerusalem.
