Gaza’s education ministry announces new school year

GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Gaza’s ministry of education announced on Sunday the start of the new school year in the war-torn coastal territory despite the challenges that resulted from the widespread destruction that had been wreaked on the education sector during the Israeli genocidal war.

In a statement, the ministry said it made efforts to ensure that all Gaza students regain their right to education at the existing schools that were prepared for them, as well as at the makeshift educational points that were set up recently in different areas to make up for the shortage of school buildings.

The ministry added that it would continue to provide distance education through its online platforms for those students who are unable to attend school.

The ministry appealed to international and UN human rights organizations to intervene immediately to support the education sector in Gaza.
