For the first time in three years, students in Gaza have resumed in-person education. The return to school involves roughly 540,000 pupils, though the environment remains precarious. Because many school buildings have been destroyed or damaged during the ongoing conflict, instruction is taking place in temporary tent structures and partially ruined facilities.

Families are facing significant economic hardship, making it difficult to secure basic school supplies for their children. The return to the classroom marks a major shift in the region, where education had been largely suspended or moved to remote formats due to the combination of the pandemic and the broader regional conflict. While the resumption of schooling is seen as a vital step for the youth population, the lack of stable infrastructure highlights the ongoing humanitarian challenges facing the territory. The current situation remains fluid, with international aid organizations and local authorities attempting to manage the logistics of providing education in a war-torn environment.
