Jerusalem School Crisis
A human rights report has revealed a structural crisis in education in occupied Jerusalem for the 2025–2026 school year. The crisis includes a shortage of 2,283 classrooms, more than 33,000 children excluded from formal or recognized education, and around 3,000 students dropping out each year. Despite construction plans, the shortfall is expected to remain at about 1,100 classrooms by 2032, while the occupation municipality lacks accurate data on more than 11,000 school-age children. The report said the occupation authorities are using shortages of resources and funding, along with restrictions on teachers, to pressure schools to adopt the Israeli curriculum. The number of students studying it has risen by 86% over the past three years, while 65% of students remain committed to the Palestinian curriculum. The report concluded that the crisis goes beyond a lack of resources and threatens equal opportunity and students’ cultural and national rights.
