Israel Expands Curriculum Influence in East Jerusalem Schools
Starting this academic year, all new first and seventh-grade students in East Jerusalem's state schools will study the Israeli curriculum, affecting around 45,000 Palestinian students. This move, which has been gradually increasing since 2020, is part of Israel's policy to replace the Palestinian curriculum with its own narrative. The shift aims to facilitate integration into Israeli universities and the labor market but has been criticized for marginalizing Palestinian history and identity.11 sourcesSee all sources
