Jerusalem’s “Invisible Palestinian Children”
The report discusses the issue of Palestinian children of compulsory school age in East Jerusalem who are unaccounted for in the education system. It highlights a rising trend of "invisible" children, particularly those aged three to six, whose educational status remains unclear. The lack of tracking may stem from inadequate cooperation between Israeli authorities and Palestinian schools. The report underscores that, according to Israeli law and international human rights standards, education is mandatory and should be provided free of charge, making the situation a potential violation of legal and ethical obligations.
