With the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority in the territories occupied in 1967, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education attached great importance to building an independent Palestinian state on solid scientific and technical foundations. The General Department of Technical Education and Colleges at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education carried out the necessary planning for public colleges, including the Palestine Technical College in Deir Al-Balah, which developed its equipment, specializations, and departments in line with the needs of the Palestinian society.

The college was officially inaugurated and the foundation stone of its new building was laid on 28/1/1996 under the patronage of the Minister of Education and Higher Education, Mr. Yasser Amro, on behalf of the late President Yasser Arafat, making this college the first specialized governmental technical institution in the Gaza Strip.

Palestine Technical College - Deir al-Balah Deir al-Balah for more than twenty-eight years to prepare creative competencies that are adapted to the requirements of the labor market and characterized by professional ethics in support of building the national economy. In order to keep pace with scientific and technological development, the college opened bachelor and diploma programs by opening 6 different bachelor specializations in addition to 16 specializations for the diploma degree. This prompted the college to expand beyond the geographical area it covers by establishing a new headquarters in Gaza City in 2015, which included all the specializations offered by the mother college and witnessed a remarkable turnout since its opening due to the quality of the programs offered by the college and its suitability to the needs of the changing market. In response to these changes to develop educational policies, the college worked to raise the quality of the educational process, improve and continuously develop the various technical disciplines, and introduced the e-learning system as one of the supporting systems for the study in order to develop educational technology in the college, in addition to developing and updating some disciplines to keep pace with modern changes and developing the vocational training center affiliated with the Continuing Education Department, which includes 10 technical vocational disciplines.
