The education system in Gaza has been devastated, especially since 2023. Schools have been used as shelters, with many damaged or destroyed, leaving students without education for almost a year. Rebuilding Gaza’s education system demands a multifaceted approach, focusing on infrastructure, psychological support, digital learning, curriculum reform and teacher training. Sustainable solutions should prioritise not just physical rebuilding but also student well-being, inclusive education and the integration of technology. A comprehensive education recovery plan is vital to create a resilient system that supports Gaza’s future development.
