A crisis in Gaza's education needs an urgent response
The education system in Gaza has been devastated by ongoing attacks, affecting the dreams and futures of over 88,000 students. Despite these challenges, the ISNAD program aims to provide 30,000 scholarships to support 15,000 students as well as university staff in Gaza, enabling them to resume their studies through distance learning.
The program focuses on major universities such as Al-Azhar University, the Islamic University, and Al-Aqsa University, which collectively serve 72% of Gaza's university students. With a target of raising $16,000,000, ISNAD will cover tuition fees for two semesters, ensuring educational continuity and giving these students the opportunity to build a better future for themselves and for Gaza, thereby enhancing the resilience of Palestinian universities to survive and thrive.
