Since 1948, Palestinians have faced many constraints because of the Israeli occupation. In addition to the sudden geographical shift and the lack of access to natural local resources, Palestinians face ongoing political and economic instability. Consequently, human resources are even more valuable and the basis for social growth, economic development, and cultural identity among Palestinians. Given these conditions, strong emphasis is placed on education as the most reliable path to human development in Palestine.

The vision of the Palestinian education policy is to provide students with sufficient knowledge and basic life skills needed to break the cycle of marginalization and enable them to become capable individuals. This aim is supported through provision of resources and opportunities for all children, and the policy also ensures that everyone has full and equal access to education services with the appropriate support of society, whether community centers, health organizations, or educational settings. Nevertheless, great challenges must be addressed in order to provide education for all, and providing inclusive education can be particularly challenging.
