see Table 14), leaving ex-Gazans in Jerash nearly on a par with non-ex-Gazans in terms of the total proportion obtaining a post-secondary qualification.

On this measure, ex-Gazans outside Jerash are on a par with Jerash ex-Gazans, with 31% of 25- to 44-year olds having completed secondary education or higher. In conclusion, the overall level of educational attainment amongst ex-Gazans inside camps is slightly below that of non-ex-Gazans but ex-Gazans in Jerash camp stand out with a higher share of people holding academic degrees than the two other groups. This is particularly surprising given the high fees ex-Gazans pay to enrol in public and private universities in Jordan68. Table 13 Educational attainment of individuals aged 25-44 by ex-Gaza status.

UNRWA also manages a handful of externally funded scholarships — currently four — specifically for registered ex-Gaza students admitted through the quota system. The overall number of scholarships fluctuates according to donations (Interview with UNRWA Education Department, 14 March 2016 and 29 January 2018). Finally, a number of private donors also support students from Jerash camp to help cover tuition costs and other administrative fees of enrolling in higher education (Interviews, Jerash camp, January to March 2016). 68 Fafo Report 2019:34 48
