Alieel Alwan before starting the day, AliEel Alwan, put a coffee into a kitchen to drink a kacket open a caffe to shed a coffee inside instant coffee. Then, he makes his way to his bedroom, here hunter for the Internet connection – a tall order in the family in Gaza.
The 21-year-old child is working on a bachelor of English literature at Al-Aqsa University. Thousands of university students in Gaza are trying to continue their work despite the ongoing war.
Alwan and his family homes are still a few people who are still standing. They refused to leave the city of Gaza for the south, as their safety is at risk, regardless of their safety.
Ahmed Junina, Alwan’s English literature Prof., registration numbers in the university “significantly” decreased. About a year and a half a year and a half years old, most of the universities in Gaza, including Al-Aqsa, including Palestinian officials, including 88,000 students, including AQSA.
“I think this is not unexpected, we are talking about students who are forced to avoid their homes or lose family members,” Junina said.
He has made an effort to predict 90 percent of them, including contact with students throughout the war and take online courses.
Alwan, who still stands in the house, sometimes had to leave for nearby attacks. Although it can be back so far, it all took money. He was temporarily thought and his family, universities, schools and even hospitals were trying to go with their lives while being bombed.
“Honestly heartfelt, not easy to see the university crushed for years with years,” he said.
“I have knowledge and hope for years and years … A future will be deleted.”
Find a connection
Therefore, Junina, who had previously visited Montreal Laval University, said that this was the mission to continue to support 600 students teaching for three courses.
The work, says, “It is more managed by personal and collective responsibilities than the institutional structure or requirements.”
And often performed without proper compensation – Junina said that he currently uses and the payment could be irregular.
“Many of us continue to teach students, but to teach students, but we must continue to support students and support students.”
Alwan is grateful for the chances of continuing their research, but often more than fears and uncertainty and says that it and others say “the student should not pass.”
He says the Internet access is the biggest problem that he faced continuing his education.
“The internet was weak or was completely cut,” he said and had to walk 45 minutes to find a good, stable signal during a displacement.
“And this was not a real place. You should stop in the middle of the street and try to do your work.”
Although now, Alwan is normally studying in a cafe near the buildings, according to the Internet. However, last Friday, after a weekly heavy bombing, decided to be safer to work from home.
Before starting their courses during the day, it is necessary to enter the Internet. To do this, go to the window in the room where the signal is strengthened. There, it uses a phone to scan a QR code that loads an application and gives you a number that enters it. This system allows him to create a more stable connection.
After combination, Junina is hit to play in a voice note. It is one of the few messages that will arrange the lesson of the day.
Classes with a sound message
The professor says the war has changed the life of the war.
“Instead of coming to your university now, meet your students in your classroom, my daily work has changed.”
Junina is now mainly classes from home, sitting at a table with a laptop and textbook. Opens whatsapp and telegram accounts on your phone where lectures are noted. Sometimes, his writings seize the sounds of noisy drones in the distance, a constant reminder of the war.
When you finish the article, compresses the file, so it is easier to download and send a sound note to students. Then it takes another lesson in the laptop.
As electricity is not always reliable, when it comes to time to fill their devices, he walks to the endless mounds, the way to the Internet cafe. Once upon a time, residential buildings, enterprises and universities, in the ruins of growing through closed blocks of plants.
In Junina cafe, when the headphones have the occupied tables, when they have the occupied tables, take their work to continue and reach their laptop.
Sometimes students meet here, because you need a stable internet connection for exams and tests sent through timed connections.
Junina, the universities of the war, forced to adapt to online learning and current situation, but as a result of this is something that will benefit them.
“I imagine a future to study the Internet platforms for a while,” he said. “Because even if the war is completed, I do not think that the students will be ready to continue the education of the students immediately if they do not stop tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, there are many students like Alwan dedicated to their education.
It remains unknown by its situation and says you plan to complete their education and apply for a scholarship to study abroad.
“My only motivation is that I think education is a strong tool and weapon against this occupation.”
