**Analysis**
The text discusses the impact of military occupation on education, specifically the restrictions and difficulties faced by students and lecturers in the occupied territories. The text highlights the problems created by military order No. 854, which gives the military authorities control over the curriculum and the ability to ban or permit courses. The text also mentions the constant measures taken by the military authorities to make education extremely difficult, such as restricting movement and closing the university. These issues suggest that the category related to education is the most fitting.
