Occupied Jerusalem, Aug. 31 (Petra) — About 45,000 Palestinian
students in occupied East Jerusalem will be required to study the
Israeli curriculum this academic year, Israeli newspaper Haaretz
reported Monday.
The report noted that the students account for about 38% of the
roughly 120,000 students in East Jerusalem who will study the Israeli
curriculum this year.
The measure is being implemented for the first time since 1967,
following Israel’s occupation of Jerusalem. After the occupation, the
education system remained linked to curricula used in West Bank
schools, which had been based on Jordanian curricula before the
adoption of a Palestinian curriculum.
The newspaper said intense Israeli pressure on parents and school
administrators has led to a decision requiring all new students
entering first and seventh grades in East Jerusalem schools to study
the Israeli curriculum.
