How academic continuity in Gaza works

Academic continuity in Gaza is real despite the destruction of campuses: the UNESCO-supported Gaza Virtual Campus keeps coursework and assessment running online, ISNAD (Taawon) pays distance-learning tuition at Gaza’s three largest universities, the Emergency Committee of Universities in Gaza coordinates co-taught international courses, and distance-native options — Al-Quds Open University and the New University in Exile Consortium’s free courses — fill the gaps. Below you will also find every scholarship in our catalog that can be completed online or from Palestine.

  • ISNAD (Taawon) covers tuition for distance learning at the Islamic University of Gaza, Al-Azhar University, and Al-Aqsa University — together enrolling around 72% of Gaza’s university students — with priority for final-year students and recovery-critical, remote-workable fields.
  • The UNESCO Gaza Virtual Campus is a shared digital platform where Gaza’s universities continue coursework and assessment online — around 20,000 students in the first phase, expanding toward all 88,000.
  • Five Temporary Learning Spaces — three in Gaza City, one in Khan Younis, one in Deir Al Balah — offer blended learning with device and connectivity access plus psychosocial support.
  • The Emergency Committee of Universities in Gaza coordinates international support and co-taught online courses to keep degrees moving.
  • Al-Quds Open University — Palestine’s distance-native university with West Bank and Gaza branches — and the New University in Exile Consortium’s Palestinian Student Initiative (free online courses plus mentorship) add fully remote options.

Practical notes

  • Connectivity and power are the real constraints, per UNESCO reporting — coursework itself is running. Plan study sessions around available connectivity, and download materials when you have a stable connection.
  • The five Temporary Learning Spaces (Gaza City ×3, Khan Younis, Deir Al Balah) are the place to get device and connectivity access, blended learning, and psychosocial support.
  • Contact your university’s registration office as programmes resume in phases — in-person classes restarted in Al-Mawasi (Khan Younis) in 2026, and faculties are reopening at different speeds.
  • If you study at the Islamic University of Gaza, Al-Azhar University, or Al-Aqsa University, register interest with the ISNAD programme early — final-year students get priority.

In Gaza, the war of 2023-2025 devastated the education system—damaging or destroying schools, displacing students and teachers, and halting regular instruction. Even before the conflict, many classrooms were overcrowded and run-down, with outdated materials that made it difficult for students to keep pace with their peers. In Lebanon, the influx of Syrian refugees over the past decade-plus, combined with the country’s deepening economic crisis, has severely strained the education system. Today, the added burden of intermittent warfare between Israel and Hezbollah has further disrupted education. Educational aid programs are a cornerstone of Anera's development efforts.

Application requirements Since September, my journey has led me to the heart of Jordan, where I’ve been immersed in a training program focused on social work with migrants and refugees. Beyond the academic rigors, Jordan has offered me a wealth of cultural and natural wonders to explore. From the ancient marvels of Petra to the bustling souks of Amman, every corner of this country has something unique to offer. Besides delving into the complexities of humanitarian aid and its positioning in Jordan, I’ve had the opportunity to immerse myself in Jordan’s rich cultural tapestry. From wandering the ancient city of Petra to navigating the vibrant streets of Amman’s souks, I’ve been enchanted by the sights, sounds, and flavors of this country. Even interactions with taxi drivers have become cultural lessons, with hand gestures simplifying the process of ordering a typical Jordanian coffee. – Eline Koopman, Travel scholar 2024 Read Our Alumni Stories Contact Correspondence Address: Lutfia Rabbani Foundation P.O.
