An Unprecedented Education Crisis in the West Bank
Palestinian students have faced significant challenges in accessing quality and safe education for decades. However, the escalation of violence following the events of October 7th have exacerbated this education crisis to unprecedented levels. In Gaza, the war has nearly destroyed the education system, preventing almost all learning. Children in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have faced increasing violence and restrictions since October 7th too, worsening existing challenges and creating new barriers for all 782,000 students. 10 months into this crisis, the threats to the right to education for Palestinian students have never been so serious.
