Abstract
In September 1993 an outline peace agreement was signed between Israel and the Palestinians. This represented a major step in the peacemaking process between two hostile parties, but since then hopes of progress have plummeted. Whatever the outcome of the current phase, it is clear that some kind of Palestinian political entity must be established if the minimal demands of the Palestinians are to be met. If such a political entity is to survive and the overall peace process toward a final resolution of the conflict is to progress, then a sustained peace‐building effort is required. Among many other things, sustained constructive work is necessary to create a new environment within the occupied territories that will deal with the underlying economic, social, cultural, humanitarian, and political problems that, if left unattended, will undermine any negotiated peace agreement. This article addresses one aspect of such a peace‐building program: the necessary reconstruction and reform of the primary and secondary educational system within the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
