نزيف العقول التربوية : تحليل سوسيولوجي لتداعيات هجرة الكفاءات التعليمية الفلسطينية على جودة التعليم في فلسطين
This study analyzes the sociological dimensions of Palestinian teacher migration and its impact on education quality in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, employing a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative data from the Ministry of Education and Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics with qualitative insights from in depth interviews with 35 emigrant teachers and 200 serving educators. The results demonstrate a strong inverse correlation (r = -0.78) between teacher migration rates and education quality indicators, showing a 35% deterioration in educational infrastructure (particularly laboratories and libraries), 22% decline in student achievement on national tests, and the teaching profession's drop from third to eighth in occupational prestige rankings. The study proposes a comprehensive reform model focusing on three key areas: improving teachers' working conditions through 40% salary increases, administrative restructuring via 50% decentralization of decision-making, and infrastructure development targeting 500 schools. The recommendations advocate for an integrated strategy addressing political (easing restrictions), economic (increasing education budgets to 20%), and pedagogical (enhancing training programs) dimensions, while emphasizing the need for coordinated efforts among government, educational institutions, and international organizations, along with further longitudinal research to evaluate the medium- and long-term effectiveness of proposed solutions in stabilizing and improving Palestine's education system.
