After a three-year hiatus, children in Gaza have begun returning to classrooms. The return to education is occurring under extreme conditions, as the vast majority of traditional school buildings have been destroyed or rendered unusable by the current conflict. Consequently, the educational environment has shifted to makeshift tent structures.

Students and educators are facing significant logistical hurdles, including a severe shortage of basic school supplies and the psychological toll of the ongoing war. While the resumption of learning is viewed as a critical step for the youth, the infrastructure remains largely in ruins. The effort to provide education is currently constrained by the lack of stable facilities and the limited availability of resources necessary to support a standard curriculum. There is no consensus on the long-term viability of these tent-based classrooms, as the security situation remains volatile and humanitarian aid access continues to fluctuate.
