Education Above All and UNDP have launched Phase Two of ‘Rebuilding Hope for Gaza’ to support 90,000 students with digital exams amid ongoing war.
A historic agreement signed on Wednesday in Doha between Education Above All and UNDP, with support from QFFD, launches Phase Two of the ‘Rebuilding Hope for Gaza’ initiative to provide digital Tawjihi exams for 90,000 students affected by Israel’s war on Gaza.
As part of the agreement, EAA and partners will set up 100 fully equipped learning spaces with internet and power, establish secure digital exam platforms, and distribute 10,000 tablets to students in need.
Palestinian Minister of Education Amjad Barham expressed his gratitude, affirming the Ministry’s commitment to ensuring that both current and past Tawjihi students can sit for their exams in safe, well-supported conditions. “We are dedicated to providing the necessary technical and logistical support,” he said. “We also extend our deep thanks to UNDP for its unwavering support to Palestine’s education sector, especially through its vital efforts in Gaza.”
As part of the initiative, 30,000 students will benefit from structured academic support, including remedial classes, practice exams, and orientation workshops. To foster mental health and resilience, psychosocial support services will also be provided.
Spanning this year and the next, the project will cover five exam cycles to serve multiple Tawjihi cohorts.
These digital exam centers are designed to evolve into long-term learning hubs under a dedicated sustainability plan, supporting Gaza’s broader educational recovery.
To date, EAA Foundation has helped over 22 million people access education across 60+ countries with 100+ partners, including 7 million beneficiaries in conflict zones, advocating for education protection.
Commenting on the agreement, Mohammed Al-Kubaisi, Acting CEO of Education Above All Foundation, said that this agreement marks a pivotal moment in commitment to rebuilding hope for those who have endured immense hardship.
“The Al Fakhoora programme alone has awarded over 10,500 higher education scholarships, primarily in Gaza. This new phase will extend our impact and help us write new chapters of opportunity for all.”
During her remarks, Ms. Chitose Noguchi, Special Representative of the UNDP Administrator, stated that partnership with the Palestine Ministry of Education and Education Above All is helping Gaza’s students reach key academic milestones: “By turning temporary exam centres into permanent digital learning hubs, we are creating lasting hope and opportunities for Gaza’s future.”
As of 30 March, the Education Cluster estimates that 87.7% of all school buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed by Israel’s bombardment.
212 school buildings have had a direct hit and could be severely damaged and a further 282 have sustained moderate, minor or likely damage.
The report reveals that before the war, 503,500 children attended schools and 18,900 teachers worked in buildings that have since been directly hit or suffered major to moderate damage.
Additionally, out of Gaza’s 16 university campuses, 4 have been destroyed and 10 have sustained severe or moderate damage.
Attacks on schools, as per UN, are a grave violation against children.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 54,056 Palestinians and wounded 123,129, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead.
