comparism between Arab and Jewish schools in Israel

In Jerusalem, most schools are government funded, but that doesn’t mean all schools receive the same amount of money. The students of Arab descent and the students of Jewish decent do not attend the same schools. The state of Israel insists all schools are of comparable quality—both Arabic and Israeli—but that is not the case. A short comparison of a few schools in the Jerusalem area will show that how some students are disadvantaged over others.

Equity and The Peasants ProtectTheWilderness

12-04-2012 14:15 | Ecology | Education | Social Struggles | World

The argument is quite simple; the county council had a legal obligation to make an equality impact assessment before making any decision to evict us from the wilderness centre. Their attempt to follow this requirement exposes their negligence, carelessness and complete misunderstanding of the situation. We are going to argue that the county council has not shown due regard to take into account our statutory needs as part of the decision making process. In doing so they have discriminated against us and our beliefs as a socio-economically deprived group.
