A survey by the Israeli Student Union has revealed that over four-fifths of Israeli students are struggling to study, attend exams, and return to full academic routines after the Iran war. The survey, conducted among 1,220 respondents, including 240 reserve soldiers, found significant disruptions to students' ability to study and attend exams. 82% of students report being unable to focus on their studies, with only 6% claiming they can study to a significant degree. The stress of studying and returning to campus was also noted, with 59% of respondents unable to attend scheduled exams due to the ongoing war. Looking ahead, students fear loss of academic performance and grades, and worry that the war could delay their graduation or professional training. The Israeli Students Union has called on universities to adapt to the current situation, ensuring students' rights are preserved and appropriate academic accommodations are provided.
