The enrolment of ex-Gazans in Jerash is higher than other ex-Gazans for all ages (Figure 15). However, it is lower than for non-ex-Gazans up to the age of 20, after which the two groups exhibit similar enrolment rates. Per cent Figure 15 Current enrolment in formal education.

Nevertheless, as mirrored in educational attainment amongst camp residents under the age of 35 (Table 14) there is a notable difference between 20- to 24-year-olds in Jerash camp and ex-Gazans elsewhere and other Palestinian refugees with respect to type of higher education they pursue. Both ex-Gazans outside Jerash and nonex-Gazans are three times as likely to be enrolled in community colleges as Jerash exGazans (21% and 22% compared to a mere 7% in Jerash camp), with Jerash ex-Gazans instead more often pursuing academic post-secondary degrees at universities (84% of enrolled ex-Gazans in Jerash compared to 70% and 68% amongst ex-Gazans elsewhere and other Palestinian refugees). Reasons for leaving school/non-enrolment Where they are not enrolled in school or university, the reasons given for non-enrolment by ex-Gazans differ somewhat from their peers: primarily in that a higher share attribute the decision to poverty and the need to earn money (Figure 16). About three in ten exGazans (consistent across age cohorts) attribute leaving school to economic factors, whereas a much lower share of other Palestinian refugees does so, particularly amongst the younger generation (under 25 years of age). And — not shown in the graph — exGazans from Jerash camp contribute significantly to this difference. This poverty-related response pattern reflects, as we shall see, the higher poverty rates amongst ex-Gazans overall and particularly in Jerash camp. Fafo Report 2019:34 56
