OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Al-Maqdese for Society Development (MSD) oganization warned that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) took significant steps ”to take control over Arab schools and supervise the educational curriculum” in occupied Jerusalem schools.
It said the move was aimed at “Judaizing and Israelizing” the holy city of Jerusalem.
The education department in Israel's Jerusalem municipality has recently begun implementing a new decision stating that all schools that receive allowances from it must exclusively purchase books published by the municipality, MSD reported on Thursday.
It “means that the national Palestinian curriculums currently used will be cancelled and replaced with Israeli ones, which erases the Palestinian and Arab identity from the minds of students,” MSD said.
”The decision enables Israeli authorities to supervise programs and funding, control the activities and intervene in the affairs of Arab schools in east Jerusalem,” it added.
MSD said the decision would affect at least 60 percent of Arab schools in Jerusalem.
MSD receives donations from the European union, the UN and other European rights organizations.
