UNICEF: Palestinian Territories Back to School
Students in the Occupied Palestinian Territory are finally beginning a new semester after violence and teachers' strikes kept many away from their studies last year. In the West Bank, a strike initiated by unpaid teachers cancelled classes in the fall for more than 750,000 children. Students like Hala, 9, who attends a girls' school in the village of Marda, did not have classes for many months. With the help of the Saudi Committee for the Relief of Palestinian People as well as other donors, UNICEF has provided more than 300,000 school bags and 75,000 school uniforms - as well as other teaching and recreational materials - to schools across the territory. Training for teachers has also been provided. UNICEF Special Representative in the Occupied Palestinian Territory Dan Rohrmann visited Al Tuffah School in Gaza City, which enrolls 870 female students, most of them poor. He praised the commitment of Palestinian children to education and expressed admiration for their achievements in the face of enormous challenges.
