Gaza's Education System Could Take Seven Years to Recover
Julia Dicum, Director of Education at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), has warned that Gaza's education system could take up to seven years to recover, according to research projections, following years of disruption and military operations that have deprived children of a normal school life. "When we opened the school year in September this year, we met children who should have been in third grade but were entering a school building for the first time," Dicum told Asharq Al-Awsat in an exclusive interview.
