Schools in occupied Al-Quds go on strike against Israeli occupation’s arbitrary measures

Occupied Al-Quds– Several Palestinian schools in the neighborhood of Jabal Al-Mukaber in occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem) launched an open-ended strike today, marking the beginning of the new academic year. The strike comes in protest against several arbitrary measures taken by the Israeli authorities against students.

The Central Parents’ Committee of Jabal al-Mukaber Schools said the strike would continue until the Israeli authorities address their legitimate demands, which include relocating the students of the Al-Sawahra Secondary School for Boys to the Ibn al-Haytham Preparatory School building in the Wadi al-Hummus area, and relocating the students of the Ibn al-Haytham Preparatory School to the new building in the Al-Jaabis neighborhood and providing the students with transportation.

Among their demands is also the presentation of a future action plan to build new educational institutions and the closure of rented buildings that do not meet the required standards.

The strike highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Palestinian students and parents in occupied Al-Quds due to the racist Israeli policies. It represents a collective effort to secure better educational facilities and transportation for the students, aiming to ensure their right to quality education despite the challenging circumstances.

The Palestinians in Al-Quds are subjected to discriminatory practices by the occupation in all aspects of life including housing, employment and services, and are unable to access services in the West Bank due to the construction of the Israeli Apartheid Wall.
