More than 200,000 Palestinian refugees study in United Nation schools in Gaza. These young girls are  catching up on their education during summer holidays: Some of them have failed their grade, because they have missed out on their education during the war. Often low confidence contributes to bad results, so teachers are motivating and encouraging their students in class. 

The UN school's Summer Learning Program for Arabic and maths started in 2008. It gives refugee children the opportunity to catch up and move on to the next grade.  The classes take four weeks. This year, 25 600 students failed in Arabic, maths or both.
