Context

In some villages in Area C of the Palestinian Territory, distance to school can be long and frictions with army or settlers are frequent. Children are often enrolled at a later age, have a significant amount of school days missing and frequently drop out early. 

From 2016, with the support of the Joint Financing Arrangement (JFA), the Ministry of Education is leasing a reliable bus service to bring the children safe to school every day.
