Abstract
It has frequently been noted that the Palestinian Arabs have an exceptionally high rate of education. The purpose of this article is to examine the socio-economic causes of this level of educational achievement and to indicate some specific developments within the Arab world which have encouraged it. The period covered will be that between the end of the British mandate in Palestine and the 1967 war years which were of crucial importance to the development of the Palestinian community, yet which are examined far less frequently than the subsequent period in which the Palestinians became an important political factor on the Middle East and international scene. Because this article seeks to explain the Palestinian educational situation in the context of the socio-economic structure of the Palestinian community, its starting point will be a survey of this community as it existed at the end of the Mandate in Palestine, and then in its new situation in exile shortly afterwards.
