Maqdesi slams Israeli decision to introduce independence paper into schools

[ 20/04/2011 - 01:59 PM ]

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Al-Maqdesi foundation for society development strongly denounced the Israeli ministry of education for deciding to introduce, as of the new academic year, the (alleged) declaration of Israel's independence into all Palestinian schools in the occupied lands including Jerusalem.

The foundation said the Israeli ministry of education ordered on Sunday in a booklet all private and municipal schools to post the declaration of independence in a place where all students and teachers can read it.

This decision has been taken as Israel's independence festival is approaching, it said, adding that it is part of Israel's comprehensive scheme to Judaize the awareness and mindset of Palestinian students.

One month ago, the Israeli ministry ordered all Palestinian schools to only buy books printed by the municipal administration. It also altered the curriculum for the years 2011-2012. This decision intends to change and control the way subjects are taught and make them only according to the Zionist and Jewish teachings and perspectives.
