Al-Jazeera Net attended part of it. Rana Ziyadah appeared to interact with her
students, and strive to simplify the arithmetic rules. A smile was drawn on her
face while she was keen to distribute her looks throughout the class and show
interest in each student.
Ziada
says, "Mathematics is not the language of rigid numbers, it is the mother
of sciences, and whoever masters mathematics excels in all other sciences, but
this requires a teacher who enjoys a strong human relationship with his
students, and earns their trust, before his teaching abilities."
The
beginning of the story
Rana
inherited the love of the teaching profession from her father, who worked as a
teacher for many years in Algeria, where Rana was born, before the family
returned to Gaza in the mid-nineties of the last century.
Rana
saw the love and respect the students showed for her father, and that was her
motive to follow in his footsteps, so she majored in mathematics and joined the
teaching field.
Rana
did not want to be a traditional teacher, and from her early beginnings in
education, she was keen on excellence, by devising creative methods to simplify
arithmetic rules, and instilling a love of mathematics in the hearts of her
students.

In
addition to her creativity in her educational career, Rana wanted to develop
herself by obtaining a master's degree in curricula and methods of teaching
mathematics, and during this long career she won many awards.

are not a goal, but they encourage continued success and make every effort to
serve society," she says.
In
2015, Rana won the Palestine Prize for Creativity and Educational Research, and
won the first place in the Palestine Inspiration Competition. In 2017, she won
the title of the first teacher in Palestine, in addition to her victory in the
same year in the “My Initiative” competition launched by the Ministry of
Education in Gaza.
She

Varkey Foundation in Britain, a partner of the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), in addition to winning the same
year the International Cooperation Foundation award at the level of Palestine.

story
Rana
feels a lot of pride and satisfaction with what she has presented during her
career in education, and she sees these awards as an appreciation for her, and
as an encouragement to other teachers to make every effort to improve education
and the level of the Palestinian student.
"My
selection as an inspiring Palestinian woman, along with two heads of state, an
astronaut, and a member of the United Nations Women's Organization, is not only
an honor for me, but a certificate of appreciation for Palestinian teachers,
who work amid difficult and harsh conditions due to the occupation and the
blockade," she said.
Regarding
the way she was chosen from among the inspirations around the world, Rana
explained that the selection is not made by submission or nomination; But by
following up on business and activities for a long time.
Rana
did not stop communicating with her students during the past months, since the
outbreak of the Corona pandemic, and the disruption of schools and the
educational process, and she devised creative ways in order to ensure that
students do not completely interrupt education.
Rana's
giving was not limited to her students only, and she initiated the launch of a
project to provide 50 children from poor families who do not have means of
communication and the Internet, with working papers that she delivered to them
at home through student volunteers who followed up with her. In order to
maintain their continuation of education during the Corona crisis.
Rana
believes that her experience during the Corona crisis, and the interest of
international institutions, most notably the United Nations Relief and Works
Agency for Palestinian Refugees "UNRWA" (UNRWA) in its initiatives,
prompted the International Women's Foundation to follow it silently, and were
the most prominent reasons for choosing it among the inspiring women around the
world.
