Al-Jazeera reports that Israel’s withholding of tax revenues from the Palestinian Authority pushed the public education system in the occupied West Bank into a deep crisis.
In most schools, classes are reduced to three days a week, teachers receive only partial salaries, and subjects such as science are largely cut.
Principals and educators warn of widening educational gaps, rising teacher resignations and increasing student dropouts, with some children turning to street work to support their families.
Officials say tens of thousands of students have had their education disrupted amid military raids and settler attacks, clarifying that the prolonged financial and security pressures risk long-term damage to Palestinian society and its future.
