The Issue |
Despite the high enrolment rates of Palestinian girls and boys in education, outcomes remain poor. Palestinian students are amongst the lowest performers on the TIMMS (the international benchmark for education evaluation). While Palestinian parents take pride in educating their children, it is evident that the challenges of the current education system is failing the next generation. The Palestinian economy is critically undermined due to decades of occupation and restrictions. Gaza possesses the highest poverty indicators in the world. The rights of Palestinians are infringed upon daily in almost every aspect of life.
