Whilst access to education in the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) has experienced important progress in line with international goals for the improvement of education systems worldwide, the Israeli occupation presents systematic obstacles to the full realisation of child rights in this regard. Within Area C of the West Bank, these obstacles are often intensified due to the particular administrative and other restrictions imposed by occupation forces upon Palestinian development in this zone. With a particular focus on the Southern Hebron Hills, this study explores some of the key reasons behind the comparatively poor state of the education sector in this area.
