Arif Hijawi was born on February 19, 1956 in Nablus; He is a Palestinian writer who worked in the professions of education and media, and most of his books are in these two fields. Hijjawi received his school education in public schools, and as he mentions in his media biography, My Life in the Media, he gained real education from his readings. In several articles, he mentioned schools negatively, describing them as not educating students, but rather hindering them from learning. 

He obtained his bachelor’s degree under pressure from his family, after struggling for about ten years, including studying history for three years in Germany, but he was unsuccessful. He worked in the Arabic department at the British Broadcasting Corporation for ten years, the last four of which he was program director. In 1998, he moved to work as director of radio training at the Media Institute at Birzeit University and then as director of the institute, for a period of seven years. He worked at Al Jazeera since the beginning of 2006, where he was director of programs for six years, then director of editorial standards in the quality control sector until 2017. 

He spent three years in school education in early youth, and worked as editor-in-chief of Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda newspaper... the official newspaper of the Palestinian Authority, for six months in 2012, before returning to the Al-Jazeera network. Aref Hijjawi believes in the Arabic language as the only means for the cognitive, scientific and economic advancement of Arab countries, and this is clearly evident in his book The High Language. He refuses to include the Latin letter in any of his writings, and criticizes him because he sees that there is no future for parsing and forming words in the Arabic language. In the stories he wrote and radio talks, he criticizes the prevailing tendency of absurdity, and the duality of his view of heritage, where he sometimes exalts its importance, and considers it a burden that hinders progress at times.
