It also aimed to identify the statistically significant differences between responses of the research sample members, according to the variables: gender, academic qualification, years of experience and specialization. In order to achieve the aims of the study, a descriptive method was used, while documents and official papers issued by the Palestinian Ministry of Education during the Covid-19 pandemic were referred to and consulted. A questionnaire was designed to collect information from the research sample which consisted of (930) male and female teachers.
