Professor Elaydi will outline the specific conditions of Gaza, which are unique. Gaza is already a learning society with a range of formal provision in family and kindergarten projects, NGOs, schools and universities.

Gaza has a dense population and few natural resources, outside of the people of Gaza who attend 27 institutions of Higher Education.
