The country report on out-of-school children (OOSC) in the State of Palestine is the product of a year-long collaboration between the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). It first provides detailed analyses of 5-15-year-old children who are both out of school, and who are in school but are at risk of dropping out, using the analytic frameworks developed by the Global Initiative on Outof-School Children (OOSCI).It then identifies and describes the barriers that contribute to these children’s exclusion from education. Concurrently, it presents brief descriptions of existing policies and efforts towards addressing these barriers and recommends ways to strengthen existing efforts.
