The Civil Campaign for Preserving the Palestinian Curriculum in Jerusalem

The Palestinian Working Woman Society for Development condemns the Israeli illegal imposition of Israeli curriculum in East Jerusalem schools.  The Israeli policy to disfigure the Jerusalemite national and cultural identity began when the municipality decided to remove content deemed problematic to the Israeli narrative from the Palestinian curriculum that is taught in public schools in East Jerusalem, consequently, affecting nearly 49.700 Palestinian students. Now Israel has extended its grip to reach the remaining 40.000 who have registered in private schools only to escape censored curriculum.

PWWSD sees in these continuous violations, a naked attack and revenge taken against the Palestinian for claiming recognition of Palestinian statehood at the UN.
