Learning Under Apartheid: The Palestinian Class of 2025

This visual outlines how the K-12 education system in Palestine is deeply fragmented and subject to restriction and repression under Israeli settler colonialism and apartheid.

Palestinian education has constituted a threat to Israel, which has historically sought to suppress and control Palestinian narratives, restrict educational freedoms, and limit access to knowledge that reinforces Palestinian identity, culture, and history. As a result, Palestinian education systems have frequently come under attack, whether through direct Israeli military assaults on schools, Israeli censorship of curricula, defunding of schools, demolitions, overcrowded classrooms, or barriers to academic freedom and mobility.
