48,000 students attend UNRWA schools in West Bank
The 2026/2027 school year has begun in the West Bank, with approximately 48,000 students enrolled in 90 schools operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), despite ongoing displacement and difficult security conditions that impact the education process. The agency provides education through temporary spaces, remote learning, and self-study materials, especially in areas like Northern West Bank where half of the displaced students have returned. In East Jerusalem, UNRWA schools remain forcibly closed since May 2025, including the effects of occupation measures on the continuity of educational activities. The agency emphasizes the right of children to education and the importance of providing a safe environment to enable learning and future building, despite the challenges.
