After three years of war, displacement, and fractured learning, children in Gaza have returned to in-person schooling — not in the buildings they once knew, which lie in ruins, but in tents and improvised spaces that stand as both testament to what was lost and proof that the impulse toward education endures. It is a fragile but meaningful threshold, a society reaching, through canvas walls and borrowed surfaces, for the continuity that conflict had severed. The road to full reconstruction is long, but the act of sitting together to learn again carries a weight that transcends logistics.
