SHAFAQNA- Hundreds of Palestinian schools in occupied East Jerusalem strike in protest at Israeli efforts to impose textbooks.
Hundreds of schools shut their doors on Monday (19 Sep 2022) morning – the latest in a series of recent steps over the past few weeks led by parents, which included protests and a refusal to teach the Israeli-imposed textbooks.
In a joint press release on Sunday, the unified parents committee and the Palestinian National and Islamic Forces in Jerusalem called for a full strike and demanded international institutions step in to protect Palestinian education.
