Palestinian Minister of Education and Higher Education, Amjad Berham, inaugurated the new academic year 2026-2027 in the town of Beitir west of Bethlehem. He emphasized the continuation of the educational process despite the challenges and difficulties, especially in areas targeted by the occupation. The ceremony was attended by Bethlehem Governor, security forces, and education directors, held at Beitir Girls' Secondary School. Berham pointed out that more than 17 new schools have been put into operation, with some schools converted to vocational and technical education, all while creating a modern educational environment and addressing the difficult conditions faced by schools in Area C and villages targeted by settlement. He explained that the ministry provided buses to transport students from threatened areas to alternative schools to ensure the right to safe education. The governor also reaffirmed that life in education continues despite these challenges. The Mayor of Beitir mentioned that historically, the town and its community are distinguished by their knowledge, highlighting that the illiteracy rate is nearly zero. He also noted that Beitir was added to the World Heritage List in 2014 to protect its heritage. Reflecting the ministry's efforts, around 846,000 students across all schools in the West Bank began the new school year, with ongoing cooperation with international partners to protect schools in Area C.
