Palestine (a non-member observer State in the United Nations since 2012, UN General Assembly resolution 67/19).

The figures are the Ministry of Education and Higher Education’s for the 35 higher-education institutions in the West Bank that reported for 2024/25 — enrolled students, new entrants and staff for 2024/25, graduates for 2023/24.

Institutions in the Gaza Strip could not report, and there are no figures for them since 2023/24; the ministry counts 17 of them among its 52 accredited higher-education institutions.

The minister’s foreword to the ministry’s 2026 guidance bulletin gives 225,137 students; that figure is on a different scope from the yearbook’s 134,969, and the two are not reconciled here.

Every programme listing with students in 2024/25, grouped by faculty as the yearbook groups them, with the number of students at each certificate level. Students are those enrolled in 2024/25, counted by programme and certificate; graduates are those who graduated in 2023/24.

What isn't here

The yearbook gives no fees, entry requirements or graduate outcomes per institution, and no institution’s supervising body or location, so this is a directory, not a matcher.
