Nazareth Parents Protest Denied School Seats for 17 Children

Dozens of parents and their children from the Bilal neighborhood in Nazareth protested on Tuesday, demanding an end to an educational crisis affecting 17 children who have been denied school seats since the start of the new academic year. The families stated that their children were initially registered without issue at the nearby Al-Qastal school. However, upon the commencement of classes, they were informed that there were no available spots, with the explanation that their educational files fall under the jurisdiction of the Reineh council, not the Nazareth municipality, despite the children residing in Bilal and receiving services from Nazareth.

The parents highlighted the psychological distress their children are experiencing due to being excluded from education while their peers attend school normally. They are calling for urgent intervention to resolve the situation.
