Through research on the history and origin of the name, it was known (in progress), but with the passage of time and the passage of time and age, this name was buried for considerations related to the extinction of its features and the disappearance of its effects.

Education

Education in Al Juwayyidah started from the beginning of the 1930s and it is said that a person who came from the West Bank is called (Abu Omar), and he is the first to study the Qur’an, reading, writing, and arithmetic, and he continued for a period of time. And based on the desire of the students' families, the first school was established in Juwaida for boys in 1959, and after that a female school was established.
