Education Minister Of The Palestinian National Authority
The Ministry of Education and Higher Education of the Palestinian National Authority is the branch of the Palestinian government in charge of managing the education in the Palestinian territories. It was established in 1994 after the formation of the Palestinian National Authority.
Nasser al-Shaer was arrested by Israeli authorities twice for membership in Hamas but released both times. After the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in June 2007, President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed all Hamas ministers including Shaer. The new appointed minister of Education under the internationally recognized Fatah government in the West Bank became Lamis Al-Alami, while in Gaza Strip under the Hamas Government in Gaza the office was taken by Osama al-Muzayni.
The office of the education ministry in Gaza was destroyed in an Israeli air strike, part of offensive Operation Cast Lead.
