Churches Urged to Support Christian Schools
The Palestinian Presidential Committee for Churches issued an urgent appeal to churches worldwide for immediate action to save the Christian schools in Jerusalem. The appeal comes amid the inability of some teachers and staff to reach the schools due to the Israeli occupation authorities' denial of permits, which has led educational institutions to declare an open strike and disrupt the 2026-2027 academic year. These restrictions are part of a broader escalation aimed at imposing Israeli policies on Palestinian education in Jerusalem, including the imposition of the Israeli curriculum and legislation targeting the employment of Palestinian higher education graduates. Such measures violate international law, United Nations resolutions, and conflict with child rights, as well as the rights to education in the occupied territories. The committee emphasizes that education is a fundamental right and calls on the international community to leverage its relationships to ensure the reopening of schools, the return of teachers and students, and the accountability of those responsible for these violations.
