In occupied East Jerusalem, Palestinian schools are observing a general strike in protest against attempts by Israel’s Jerusalem municipality to censor and edit Palestinian textbooks, as well as introduce an Israeli curriculum in classrooms.
Hundreds of schools shut their doors today morning which included protests and a refusal to teach the Israeli-imposed textbooks.
In a joint press release, the unified parents committee and the Palestinian National and Islamic Forces in Jerusalem called for a full strike and demanded international institutions to step in to protect Palestinian education.
