The UN Special Rapporteur on the right to education, Farida Shaheed, said that “more than 90% of schools in Gaza were completely or partially destroyed and are no longer fit for use,” and that schools were subjected to repeated attacks even after they became shelters for civilians.

Shaheed stressed in a statement today, Monday, that the recovery of the education system in Gaza depends primarily on the end of the war and the Zionist occupation.

Shaheed used the term “Scholasticide” to describe what the education sector in Gaza witnessed in light of the Israeli war, and pointed out that this term means the complete and deliberate destruction of the education system.

The second semester of the current academic year began yesterday in the Palestinian territories, but studies are still suspended in the Gaza Strip, since Israel began its genocidal war on October 7, 2023.

During its annihilation of the Strip, the Zionist enemy destroyed most of the schools, whether government or affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), while the remaining schools were turned into centers to shelter thousands of displaced people whose homes were destroyed, which is one of the most prominent factors preventing the resumption of the educational process.
