West Bank & Gaza (WB&G) spent 1.3 percent on public education as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This year, the Palestinian Authority (PA) published a report entitled Homestretch to Freedom, which outlines the objectives for the coming year, along with the Education Development Strategic Plan, 2008-2012 (EDSP). Most notably, it will proceed with plans to modernize the education system. The importance of government spending in the economy is evidenced by the changing composition of GDP: the share of the mostly government-funded sectors (health and social work, water and electricity, education, and public administration and defense) rose from less than 21 percent in 1999 to almost 30 percent in 2009.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCREDITATIONACHIEVEMENT DATAACHIEVEMENT TESTSBACHELOR DEGREEBASIC EDUCATIONCAREERCIVIL SERVICECIVIL SOCIETYCLASSROOMCLASSROOM EXPERIENCECLASSROOM MANAGEMENTCLASSROOM TEACHERCLASSROOM TEACHINGCLASSROOMSCOURSE REQUIREMENTSCURRICULACURRICULUMDECENTRALIZATIONDEGREE PROGRAMSDISABLED STUDENTSDISADVANTAGED STUDENTSDISCIPLINESDOUBLE SHIFTEDUCATION AUTHORITIESEDUCATION DEGREEEDUCATION DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION STRATEGYEDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL AUTHORITIESEDUCATIONAL GUIDANCEEFFECTIVE TEACHERSEFFECTIVE TEACHINGEMPLOYMENTENROLLMENTENROLLMENT RATESENTRANCE REQUIREMENTSEXAMEXPERIENCED TEACHERSFEMALE TEACHERSGENDER PARITYGRADE LEVELSGRADINGHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHOMEWORKINCENTIVES FOR TEACHERSINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSTRUCTIONJOB MARKETLEADERSHIPLEARNING ENVIRONMENTSLEARNING METHODSLEARNING OUTCOMESLESSON PLANNINGLOCAL EDUCATIONAL AUTHORITIESMATHEMATICSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL ASSESSMENTNATIONAL ASSESSMENTSNATIONAL CURRICULUMNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSOLD STUDENTSPEDAGOGICAL SKILLSPEDAGOGYPRESERVICE TEACHER EDUCATIONPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY EDUCATION TEACHERSPRIMARY ENROLLMENTPRIMARY ENROLLMENT RATEPRIMARY LEVELPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSPRIMARY SCHOOLSPRIVATE SCHOOLPRIVATE SCHOOL TEACHERSPRIVATE SCHOOLSPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC SCHOOLPUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTSPUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERSPUBLIC SCHOOLSQUALIFIED ENTRANTSQUALIFIED PROFESSIONALSQUALIFIED TEACHERSQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY OF EDUCATIONREASONINGREFUGEEREFUGEE CHILDRENREFUGEESREGULAR TEACHERREGULAR TEACHERSSALARY INCREASESSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL ACHIEVEMENTSCHOOL DAYSCHOOL LEVELSCHOOL MAINTENANCESCHOOL NETWORKSSCHOOL PRINCIPALSSCHOOL QUALITYSCHOOL STUDENTSSCHOOL SYSTEMSSCHOOL TEACHERSSCHOOL YEARSCHOOL-LEAVING EXAMINATIONSCHOOLINGSCIENCE STUDYSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY EDUCATION TEACHERSSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERSSERVICE TRAININGSKILLED TEACHERSSPECIAL NEEDSSTIPENDSSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENTSSTUDENT BODYSTUDENT ENROLLMENTSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENTS PER TEACHERSUBJECT MATTERSUBJECT MATTER KNOWLEDGESUBJECT-MATTER KNOWLEDGESUBJECTSTEACHERTEACHER ABSENTEEISMTEACHER CANDIDATESTEACHER EDUCATIONTEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMSTEACHER EVALUATIONSTEACHER PAYTEACHER PERFORMANCETEACHER REQUIREMENTSTEACHER STANDARDSTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMSTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING EXPERIENCETEACHING FORCETEACHING PROCESSESTEACHING QUALITYTERTIARY EDUCATIONTEST SCORESTRAINING INSTITUTIONSTRAINING PROGRAMSUNIVERSITY PROFESSORSYOUTH10.1596/17695
