Irish college scholarships can help to rebuild Gaza

The reconstruction of Gaza is a priority for the international community. Education is central. Irish third-level institutions can contribute.

Our colleges and the Minister for Education, Jan O’Sullivan, should set up Gaza scholarships. These scholarships, especially in medicine and nursing, horticulture and engineering, would contribute to the rebuilding of Gaza’s infrastructure where it matters most; investing in young people.

By taking the lead within the European Union in establishing these scholarships, Ireland would serve as an example, encouraging other countries to follow.
