The Educational Situation in the Gaza Strip Before and After the War
The educational system in the Gaza Strip has been severely damaged by war, posing a significant challenge to its reconstruction. Education is deeply valued in Palestinian society, representing a means of personal emancipation, social ascension, and collective resilience.
Education has long been a cornerstone of Palestinian society, particularly in the Gaza Strip, where it is seen as a path to personal and professional development. Despite decades of conflict, Palestinians have maintained one of the highest literacy rates in the Arab world, exceeding 97% in the 1970s and 1980s. The recent war has caused extensive destruction to school and university infrastructures, making the reconstruction of the educational system a significant challenge. Palestinian youth remain determined to pursue their education, viewing it as essential to their future and a source of dignity. The international community, including France, is being called upon to support Palestinian students, particularly those seeking refuge abroad. The reconstruction effort will require addressing the scale of destruction and supporting the resilience of Palestinian youth.
