Nazareth Parents Protest Denial of Kindergarten Spots
Parents in Nazareth held a protest outside the municipality building in recent days, demanding that their children be enrolled in the kindergarten classes affiliated with Al-Qastal Elementary School. Approximately 17 children have been unable to start school despite the academic year beginning several weeks ago.
The parents, who are residents of Nazareth, assert their right to enroll their children in the school, even if geographical divisions require some to pay taxes to the local council of Reineh. Two parents spoke to Channel 10 correspondent Beida Abu Rahal-Najm about the issue.
Channel 10 is seeking a response from the appointed committee managing the Nazareth Municipality regarding the parents' claims. Any official comment will be published in a future broadcast and on the Panet website.
