Online Zoom Forum: An Evening with Prof Bart McGettrick.
Title: Education in Palestine Today.
Date: Wednesday 27 November 2024.
Time: 7pm-9pm (UK time).
Description: For a year there has been constant reference to Gaza and to Palestine. It has been a war zone like no other where there has been devastation of buildings, infrastructures and communities. Schools and universities have been demolished and will need to be re-built. There will be no returning to what used to be there.
So what now? Professor Bart McGettrick chairs the International Board of Regents at Bethlehem University, and the Board of Governors of Tabeetha School in Jaffa. He will lead a Zoom discussion on how he sees education now and in the future in Palestine. This is an opportunity to hear at first hand about the current situation and to discuss the challenges that lie ahead.
