Together We Aspire,
Technical Educational Support
The Technical Education Support for Higher Education Students Initiative (TESI) involves the use of online learning and virtual classrooms open to Gazan students. Universities from Palestine and around the world participating in TESI will offer courses, learning resources, and other support to meet the specific needs of these students.
TESI envisions a collaborative global effort to support the educational aspirations of students in Gaza. By leveraging digital technologies and global collaboration, we aim to create innovative virtual learning solutions that enable Gazan students to continue their education and contribute to the long-term rebuilding of Gaza’s educational infrastructure.

Our Story
The recent war in Gaza has led to the massive destruction of cultural, historical, and academic properties, including universities, schools, libraries, and archival institutions. This has created an environment lacking the basic necessities of life and services.
The educational sector has been hit particularly hard: 70% of schools and universities have been destroyed or damaged, resulting in losses of over $720 million, according to the International Monetary Fund. Consequently, 90,000 university students have lost access to education, with universities' databases destroyed and their websites blocked.
Faced with this urgent crisis, it became clear that immediate intervention was necessary to ensure Gazan students could continue their education. In response, An-Najah National University and UNIMED – the Mediterranean Universities Union – launched the Technical Education Support for Higher Education Students Initiative (TESI) in February 2024. TESI aims to empower Gaza students to complete their university education remotely as visiting students, with no financial burden on them or their respective universities.
