In an age of modernity, largely digitalized, dominated by information technology, a technical school has its task cut out: technology vs manual operations. At the finishing of their studies the students are assured of a trade in a specific sector. As such the School offers courses on Turning, Electricity, Auto Mechanics, Autotronics, electronics and carpentry. It caters to students ranging from the 10th Grade to the 12th. At the end of their school studies there is the Common Government exam, ‘tawjihi’ (the success rate last year was 85%). While students at large settle down to work in the industrial sectors, there are a few who pursue their further studies out of Palestine. This year the school has 140 regular students, who frequent at the morning and 160 students for various ‘courses’ who frequent in the evening.
