This report documents how the continuing Israeli occupation significantly impedes education in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). It notes that UNICEF has reported that 144 schools in the OPT were disrupted during the 2005/2006 academic year as a result of Israeli military activities, resulting in the disturbance of schooling for 64,712 students and 2,470 teachers. Research conducted in 2004 revealed that 226,000 children in 580 schools found going to school “impossible, irregular or very risky”, facts which are important to bear in mind when making the case for academic boycott.
