a land. this gave of devastation of resilience. among the countless sectors of grappling to recover, education is sounds that across the road here lies the ruins of many of the schools, the learning facilities where classrooms turn into shelters and the cars of the war and devastation are. it's in the faces of rivers, students and teachers, the like. here in the shadow of devastation and war holds for seth. and this panel, we are exploring the challenging and the inspiring efforts to rebuild guy education system. our panel is made of an educational consultant, a founder of that initiative, and an international volunteer coming all the way from puerto rico, the guys of city. but before we go into our panels, let's see what these the students have to say about 15 months of war and java station and an absence of a proper learning environment. i've been displaced for more than

a year and i've been deprived of many today's education to stock that i should have false, my 10th grade, but now we all feel for our academy future. we have dreams and ambitions. we hope a homes and schools of a been so i'm a 4th grader. we did our best to continue with us studies even as we've been displaced. we've been taught in tents without any textbooks, computers of choice. we're looking for to our schools to be built as soon as possible. we're here. can we? i know, and i missed my school, my teachers, and above all my schoolmates, dream of going back to school and enjoying the study and daily life. i hope will be able to resume my academic life soon. although i'm in the final year of secondary school, i've already lost one year and now the sick and just reading the 2. it's even hard for us to study under these crim conditions. above all, we don't have any textbooks, electricity, computers, all the necessary teaching to be shuttled to the welcome

back. we are joined by our amazing panel. missed study. the one who was an english teacher and a founder of the learning tens initiative in the central area were also joined by mr. you have that a month with a college instructor with 10 years experience in education, consultancy, and international development. and from 43 equal to the gaza international volunteer libra. who is part of a medical mission better known as a leah, but has taken the time to volunteer in teaching will come all through the panel and thank you so much for taking the time to be with us. i would like to start our discussion by asking this one question that many people have been asking since the beginning of this, these buyer will destroy the schools with limited resources. what immediate a step can be taken to restore the education system, or at least part of it,

a sorry to, to restore access to education and immediate response as needed. stop listening, educational sense that supports our students to continue their academy journey on to providing them some. it says she all a supplies, the child's notebooks and writing supplies and folks, these things are very important that we need to provide our students. and this is please, additionally, i need to mention about 5 physical and social supports most people by this to help our students come with this a total law. and again, our teachers write me thoughts on techniques that they should do as a doing this. as soon as i the more an offset this inside the more because the fees a lot of the challenges on difficulties with the right me. so it's on techniques at

all. so i need to mention about the co denise and with international law, calling organizations with their sustainability and with our indication of sense to support our students and as their needs. this is very important to integrate all of these uh, n e r a spaces and our work to completes on continuing education at 10. it's not an ideal environment to for students to learn. what's your take on the question? well, i think we should just start with a den and we're done it's, it's nice to see whether it's like the basic it's when you start hearing, that means when i get this has to go into a long term process. because when the short term losses, and therefore we need to know it. so my name is janet,

still nothing about or 80 finders in knoxville is involved where not own admin hodge leave was completely damaged over the tar. my supervisor also been teaching. i have told this thought the students that the men b is and they have been stuck in the heights. so there's nothing new to this but also processes and teacher expectations. well, that comes to the finding your online. they all not have the answers. that's the big one room management tend to along with the board if i would like you to draw on the question, but also expand a little bit more on the, the psychological impact of the past 15 months. and if it under ability to learn,

as well as someone on the ground, volunteering and teaching. and it's been very difficult for adults. so what we have to understand is education is a human right that has been denied palestinian children guidance for 15 months. and not only hasn't been denied, but they've had to normalize the sounds of war funds following on uh, drones, quad cop, there's losing family members losing homes and constantly being displaced. and so what, what we need on top of what my colleagues have shared is we need safety. unfortunately . and these last 15 months we have not been able to get schools. and a list to be insured is that there wouldn't be bonds. so we can even ensure that children can learn in a safe environment. so we need a safe environment, need to renovate schools, and we need to rebuild the part the public infrastructure on that was intentionally

attacked by design. this forces so that, that there is a future here in the gaza before the war. gaza had low illiteracy rate. education is highly valued in the gaza and we need to get in fact there. but from a psychological standpoint, we need to begin to incorporate social emotional development in. 5 the learning system, we need to have patience because these children have not been in social environments around other children. so we also need to help them learn how to be chosen again. because it's been 15 months of having to pick up your things and run. this is very interesting point to social emotional development. i would like very that someone who found it administrative, the learning can tell us about your initiative. and how does that seem to improving the part that liberally just referring to the emotional and the social development of the students to a pain or to achieve the goals of the initiative?

to be honest, tiny, i say it's a lot of a challenge as long, difficult as to be at least educational sense, but i have successfully so it's a more times than education, nonsense, and different areas instead of bella, to be honest, that's not about just education. if it's the powers of practice yourself and the most shows that my students fees, and during this junior site, the war i put in to know what's the main thoughts on what's the way you sort i have with them because we are very confused before at 2 months a go about that based me. so it's, we have to, you was ok, we need to use the ministry curriculum or we need to use as curriculum that's just doubled with their psychological uh, feelings as so uh, with a lot of efforts with my teachers and my team i, we can and we have the ability to pass

a lot of the challenges we need to integrate the old interactive and international uh ways on research to past this point is specific and education. unfortunately, i have that a success, a big success with a lot of the students as specific secondary stages. they prepare now themselves to pass there and that and then exams. and after this month and shot along, and this is a listen that sucks us. i canceled the phone, i have a lot of, of the shows that eh, provides in the education of students from the fair style stage spell that it's role these. um, this is uh, this is a big responsibility. we talk and dispute on the need to continue this journey is

in or it's not just in the south a. uh, because we believe education is not is just a key of the rest of us. it's also a pico, most of our children of our students and all the parts of golf course, regular responsibility have i was just going over 3 or profile and uh, it's so rich one you've been involved in higher education for quite a long time. you have the large uh, let's say a large audience of the students and, and a professional who either be part of your professional training or part of the, the projects that you've created. i'm interested, you know, as part of responsibility. what have the, the 15 past month or the past 15 months? have said your role as a college instructor in terms of the, in terms of professional level and research and academia in general. and you

started with the word chandler. it was over the past 16 months, i've learned that this is the, is the mother of invention. i learned that yes the, our students is there to live is really line the law is the longest. and fis, on learning they've been facing unimagined challenges with indescribable. let's say rob needs more of the good to me in taxes, probably, and so on. besides, the budget goes on. going to go to this. i've noticed that many, many, many students has the chance to, to mean our boss advisors as well. but be funding not the most viewed, it happened on you guys. if you don't need the website to be in the drawings and be

like me to learn something new me since they haven't like they, they have is like have the basic needs lever. i'm going to ask you a question about someone like you coming all the way from the other part of the world to step in and do the change and educating young palestinians here. how do you, how do you balance between their, their emotional needs as well as the, the academic gains that they look forward to having the war by itself is a story. but the, the lack of education, the absence of a proper environment is a different story. how do you balance that? i think, yeah, i just think about the methods of teaching and the importance of education at this point, education is something that is pivotal because it's more than just a learning space. it's a space for children to go and feel like children and be distracted by

everything that's been happening around them. so and uh and so it's important when, when we're teaching to understand, we know things and we can involve children in learning processes. so the way that i teach is, i know some things, you know, some things and we know more together. and so learning with the students, incorporating them into the lessons that we learn. you know, i'm teaching english, it distracts them because it's not something they're, they're used to. um, they've been out of school for um, going on a 2nd academic year. and so trying to learn a new language and learning how to say things is very invited, a distraction, the way the children are able to interact with each other, but also with teachers. but it's also important to, to be soft with them to care. because again at this point, education goes beyond learning, it becomes. 4 an escape for the children from the realities that they'll have to go

through when they leave the tense. and it's, it's our duty and it's also important to know the role of international is enough to come here to tell palestinians how to teach or what to do is to help support them. the palestinian teachers that education system, the palestinians know best. we have to take the lead and support with resources on what they say. they need not try to come and tell them how to do things or what we think is best. people have just survived a genocide and we're in a condition where we have a lack of resources. so there's a lot of adaptability that the palestinian culture will fill in. and it's important . the most important thing for me, for the children is that they maintain their imagination because the, the past is in our memories, the futures in our hands. if we can get children the education that they need in a,

in a very important and pivotal moment in their life, it makes all the difference on the future of the gaza in the future of pretty palestine that they will help to build. speaking of the ceasefire, do you see this as an opportunity, as people on the ground, like you involving education involving teaching? how do you see the seas buyer as a way to promote what you're doing on the ground? you saw your as a way to complete our. a work here my, as i talked before, my ultimate goal here is to help my students. we start from this house and we will return to the site as to the north. and we will complete this way as these for you and get us the opportunity to prepare our selves to fast with powerful feelings. because we know education is not just a field, not just

a wants to us. it's the fashion we need to complete this message because we have much mission. we need to complete it or that we ard at uni and $0.04 towards yours and just ask you to complete our mission is to secure i where is too dense, needs a specific instance that the beauty of we are systems use. we don't know what's the next bus we will look at the best we will complete in this uh, p as good as because we to leave education is also a kind of resilience way we use in gospel. and this is our way to talk about system. yes. in our field rather showing resilience

amid is this horrible time leave or what's your take on a ceasefire in terms of what and what and in terms of what you're doing on the ground to uh do set it at the beginning. it's a very fragile ceasefire. um we here talks that it might already be broken after $42.00 days, which and so a lot does not happen. um, but uh this expire is does being a sense of hope and we have to do our best to ensure that, that it becomes something permanent because the ceasefire is a temporary solution, a band aid over a larger systemic issue of occupation. and uh, and we want our children to have a few sure, we want there to be an education system that is grounded in gaza so that people don't have to leave to get a right. so a high quality education, one that existed before on this latest senate side uh by the occupation forces.

and we have to be, uh, we have to be just as patient with the children as our colleagues, because everyone has been affected teachers. so teachers are taking on the role of psycho social, social, emotional support, providing children with a sense of safety and also responsibility of trying to keep the children's face while they're away from their time. as well as helping to offer the children a solution. and so we can run of 8 schools and actually have a school because once we've had up to now is just temporary learning space and not actual schools. so the goal is going to be set to have school with high quality education, and we're not there yet. so in this process, we will continue to have hope because we need it. and the children need us to have hope for them as well. and we just need to support them as much as possible and, and offer them as

a distraction and looking into the future and look how the seas buyer will hold as long as it can and provide an opportunity for that or future prospects for palestinian students as they have, i would like to get your insights on the future prospects of education, not only the basic as you can, but also in terms of higher education. we have universities that have been completely destroyed. so what are we looking at here? what i would start that education is not only a means of transferring knowledge, but also it's a, it's a means of building generations and building future. and yes, universities have, let's say, completely been damaged. we cannot get back to teach at the universities these days . but we must take action and you know, they, the generations like that our children and our university seeing us are,

are going for nothing these days it's, it's just, it's not say, a waste of time, but we're losing years. okay. and accordingly, we need to take action in regard to the education the process. i think we need to cooperate with the international organizations as well, such as the c, w s b to provide more assistance to the universities in school psychologically. and basically as well, we need the tools, the equipment, we need, the internet access, we need the e learning to be implemented all over the gaza strip. even for schools, not only universities, university students, let's say, are more often on learning online rather than the school students. but also we need to work on some more creative programs in order to go for the online teaching along with the, the physical,

the is to face the team. we need to take action because we cannot me stein for nothing. and in this, let's say that there's still hope here, but we need more assistance from, let's say, from uh x, there are no um, sources in exterior associations to take action as well so that we can move on. and of course, we are ready to go to say that as someone who created an initiative, your lead in that it's uh, as far as that, as i'm concerned, is very successful. it's helping many of the students. how does the future look for you in terms of improving educational, how in a different way? what do you expect the future will be to help to promote your industry? to be honest, tiny, i whole uh, if you will have a price future, a specific and goal. so because our students,

to be honest has been done from everything from long to q with her from learn q food, a bus. i have a whole because my students have a great feeling to complete their education to complete that. and we need a lot of assistance from international organizations to rebuild our whole, our places, our destroy, the schools and universities. we have a power to v fellows. these uh, educational spaces. we have a passion also to complete this. this is the most important phone. if you have a passion, so you can complete any way you want. and this is i have no more design is 3000. so students, they need to complete their education even if they will be in town. and this is the power i have to complete my projects in the north i. if i have that,

if i be some down, sometimes my students call me miss for you the we want them to complete. we want to educate because these education now since not just how to educate them, but also to get them a place to grow, to talk about their feelings without any research shows a freely and it's like a who all yeah. so he'll then psychologically as well, and of course he'll them think of like libra one i'm interested to hear from you about your thoughts on the future of education. does it look a promising? but there's a lot if we just look at 50 months, is devastation, deliberate, destruction, and targeting of, uh, education pioneers, from university professors into teachers, into a program managers. does it look promising?

it looks promising to me. uh, and we have to what we have to understand is the infrastructure in gaza has been intentionally attacked because the occupation as much as possible wants to make it not possible for people to stay. right. they, they want guidance to lease. and so finding education outside. but we need guidance to stay here to help, to rebuild. so, to, to provide high quality education. we have very smart people that are right here. that needs to stay. and, and we also can't guarantee their safety. so something has to give as international as me to put pressure on our government to not funded genocides that are very well documented. but we also need to bring resources because it doesn't deserve reparations. education is something that needs to be invested in and rebuilt and paid for by the by people that did not do anything. so stop this

genocide from happening and just simply watch. oh yes, there is a future in gaza. it will be rebuilt. come out of the ashes. palestinians are experts in resilience, not because they want to be, but because they have had to be. because since 1948, they've had to deal with the realities of living under constant occupation constant genocides. this is not the 1st time that gaza has been attacked is not the 1st time education in gaza has been attacked. but what we do see now that hasn't happened before is the attack of the infrastructure. one right now, you know, having to leave. and they've helps to fund and build a lot of these schools and pay for a lot of the teachers. and so we have to be very intentional with keeping things within garza as much as possible lead by palestinians. and again, support with resources because there is a future,

but we have to stay here to build it. it's not going to be built outside. it has to be built here on the gods in soil that, that, that knows it's people and that knows it's history just like the island trees. right. and so our, our job here is, you know, i, i'm at a 3 a school right the, the school of freedom and education helps to build a free future where people not only loved the land, but understand what it means to, to get an education that they deserve well, i'm fortunate we're kind of, we're running out of time. we're coming to the end of the show. thank you so much for your time and for your insights on this important subject. thank you. the,
