Abstract	This publication comprised of two volumes describes the findings of a review of Palestinian universities emphasizing science and technology, and the resulting recommendations for higher education improvement and support to be carried out between 1994 and 1998. In volume I the review, or mission, found that there are 28 tertiary-level institutions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip staffed with well trained academics. Enrollment at the eight universities for 1993-94 was 22,500 at the Bachelor's level and 225 at the Master's level. All institutions face severe financial problems that require international assistance. Effective higher education ranks among the first conditions to be fulfilled for the success of peace in the region. The report recommends, in volume II, that: (1) higher education institutions in this area be sustained with international support; (2) there be an overhaul of vocational and technical education and training; (3) graduate programs be gradually developed; (4) qualitative standards for higher education be raised; (5) universities study and respond to immediate economic development needs, particularly tourism; (6) regional and international linkages with other institutions and agencies be developed; (7) an estimated 50 million dollars be invested annually over the 5 years between 1994 and 1998. Also conatained in volume II are specific project proposals. (JB)
