Jerusalem's Palestinian governorate issued a warning Tuesday as the new school year began, cautioning that Israeli authorities plan to enforce the Israeli curriculum on more than 45,000 Palestinian students attending schools under Israeli municipal control in the city, Shehab Wire reported. The move represents an expansion of Israeli educational policy affecting Palestinian youth in occupied East Jerusalem.
The affected students attend institutions administered by Israel's Jerusalem municipality. Palestinian officials have characterized the curriculum imposition as part of broader efforts to reshape education in the contested city. The governorate's alert comes as schools reopened for the academic term, with the policy set to take effect alongside the start of classes.
