Education in the State of Palestine refers to the educational system in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, which is administered by the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education. [dubious – discuss] Enrollment rates amongst Palestinians are relatively high by regional and global standards. According to a youth survey in 2003, 60% between the ages 10–24 indicated that education was their first priority. Youth literacy rate (the ages 15–24) was 98.2%, while the national literacy rate was 91.1% in 2006.[1] The literacy rate ages 15-24 was 99.4% in 2016.[2] Enrollment ratios for higher education were 45% in 2022.[3] In 2016 Hanan Al Hroub was awarded the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize for her work in teaching children how to cope with violence.[4]
The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI)[5] finds that Palestine is fulfilling 92.9% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to education based on the country's level of income.[6] HRMI breaks down the right to education by looking at the rights to both primary education and secondary education. While taking into consideration Palestine's income level, the nation is achieving 91.0% of what should be possible based on its resources (income) for primary education and 94.9% for secondary education.[6]
