Gender planning and vocational education and technical training (VETT) in Palestine were examined through the following: review of available literature and policy-oriented reports, discussions with educators in the field, and roundtable discussion in which representatives of the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Ministry of Labor and experts participated. The following issues were considered: development of an analytical approach to gender planning (gender diagnosis, institutionalization of gender, gender integration); historical development of VETT in Palestine (contributions of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency [UNRWA] and the Jordanian Ministry of Education and effects of Israeli occupation); characteristics of VETT (target group attraction, fragmentation and dispersal). The gender analysis of VETT was organized around the four spheres of VETT as follows: the technical sphere (gender equity or pay disparity); the political sphere; the organizational sphere; and the research sphere. Special attention was paid to the following topics: VETT provisions; postpreparatory and dropout training opportunities; postsecondary training provisions; VETT and employment opportunities; Israeli occupation and demands of the Israeli labor market; UNRWA policy, welfare, and development; nongovernmental organizations, nationalism, and development; and Israeli authorities as decision makers.
