Education in Palestine

by
Dr. Abuhiljeh, president of Birzeit University, shares his insights on overcoming the many challenges posed to Palestinian higher education and the lead that Birzeit University has taken in establishing the Right to Education campaign, which has spread to other Palestinian universities. This event was cosponsored by the Holy Land Christian Ecumenical Foundation (HCEF) and the Institute for Palestine Studies (IPS).

Why is Israel raiding Palestinian universities?

by

The Palestinian academic community hopes to internationally shame Israel for its raids on universities and disruption of education in the West Bank. During the current uprising in the West Bank, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stormed two Palestinian universities: Birzeit University near Ramallah on Jan. 11 and Al-Quds University at Abu Dis in East Jerusalem on Jan. 29.
