Sample Size: 1500 student in five Palestinian Universities
AWRAD is working to empower Palestinian youth across university campuses. AWRAD’s work has focused on the development of research and planning skills among members of the newly-elected student councils.
As such, AWRAD carried out a baseline survey in five universities: Birzeit University, Bethlehem University, Hebron University, Al Quds University, and Palestine Polytechnic University.
Throughout April and May 2012, these selected universities conducted elections for their student councils.
The elections were highly contested and all relevant political groups including Fatah, Hamas, and other independent and leftist groups participated in the process .
The survey questioned students on their needs and priorities, voting patterns, and political views.
A representative sample of 1500 students was selected, composed of 300 students from each university campus.
The results were later weighted to reflect the size of the student population of each campus. The following is an analysis of the basic data of the survey.
