AccreditationPalestinian Authority Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE / وزارة التربية والتعليم العالي) — established by 1994 Oslo Accords-derived PA structure; regulates Palestinian universities in both West Bank and Gaza Strip (despite 2007 Hamas-Fatah split, MoEHE accreditation continues for Gaza institutions). Plus Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission (AQAC / هيئة الاعتماد وضمان الجودة) — independent quality assurance body. Palestinian HE has existed throughout the modern period despite political circumstances; Birzeit University traces to 1924, predating modern Israel. Arabic is primary instruction; English HE programmes growing. CRITICAL 2023-2025 CONTEXT: Gaza universities have been catastrophically affected by Israel-Hamas war (October 2023 onwards) — multiple Gaza universities destroyed or severely damaged; thousands of Palestinian students and faculty killed; West Bank universities have faced increased Israeli military incursions and restricted student movement through checkpoints.

Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to

Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
