France launches one euro university meals for all students

From May 4, every enrolled student, including undergraduates, postgraduates, doctoral candidates and some recognised volunteers, can access the one euro meals at university canteens run by the Crous network. The usual price of a standard meal in these canteens is 3.30 euros, meaning the state subsidises most of the cost. For one euro, students receive a three course meal, typically including a starter, main course and dessert. French authorities say the measure is designed to support students struggling with inflation, high rents and rising food prices. A student union survey cited by officials found that almost half of students had skipped meals for financial reasons, with nearly a quarter doing so several times a month. In 2024, around 667,000 students benefited from the one euro scheme when it was still restricted, with about 46.7 million meals served at both the […]

Gaza universities reopen after two years of war, reviving hope for students

After two years of war that devastated the Gaza Strip, universities are slowly reopening and offering students a fragile but vital path back to education. Before the conflict began in October 2023, Gaza had 17 higher education institutions, but most of their hundreds of buildings now lie in ruins, with more than 100 university structures destroyed and about 200 staff members killed, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Education.​ At Al Azhar University in Gaza, administrators and students say they are determined not to let the war erase an entire generation’s future. Teaching has resumed on a temporary campus, where damaged classrooms and improvised facilities reflect both the scale of destruction and the determination of students returning to continue their studies.​ Vice Chancellor Dr Muhammad Shubeir said the university kept teaching online during the war, even as staff worked from […]
