New School Year Begins in Palestinian Territories
The Palestinian school year 2026/2027 has officially commenced in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with approximately 846,000 students enrolling in schools across the West Bank. In Gaza, a flexible education plan has been introduced, targeting 541,000 students, amidst exceptional circumstances related to school buildings and field conditions. The Ministry has undertaken several projects to expand capacity, including the construction of new schools, classrooms, technical schools, and infrastructure improvements, with a focus on safeguarding schools in the classified "C" areas and remote regions. In Gaza, the educational sector has been prepared by opening 700 learning centers and 25 temporary schools, providing psychological support and interactive environments, despite challenges posed by the blockade and Israeli restrictions on schools and teachers in Jerusalem. Students in these areas face occupation measures aimed at imposing the Israeli curriculum and disrupting the arrival of educational staff. The new school year includes efforts to promote digital education by connecting schools to the internet and expanding the use of solar energy, with an emphasis on maintaining the educational process amid security and political challenges.
