East Jerusalem is a Palestinian neighborhood that was occupied by Israel in 1967. Since then, the Israeli government has implemented a number of policies that have made it difficult for Palestinian children to access education.

One of the most significant challenges facing Palestinian students in East Jerusalem is poverty. Many families live in poverty, and they cannot afford to pay for transportation, school supplies, or extra-curricular activities.

Another challenge is discrimination. Palestinian students often face discrimination from Israeli teachers and administrators. They may be denied access to certain schools or programs, or they may be subjected to verbal abuse or physical violence.

Violence is also a major problem in East Jerusalem. Children are often caught in the crossfire between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian militants. They may be injured or killed, or they may be too traumatized to attend school.

Despite these challenges, Palestinian children in East Jerusalem are determined to get an education. They know that education is their key to a better future. They are supported by a network of dedicated teachers, parents, and community organizations.

The book "Education in East Jerusalem: Unequal Access, Unfulfilled Promise" is a groundbreaking book that examines the challenges facing education in East Jerusalem. Drawing on extensive research and interviews, the book provides a detailed account of the obstacles that Palestinian students face in accessing quality education, including: poverty, discrimination, and violence. The book also explores the role of international aid and the Palestinian Authority in addressing these challenges.

The book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the education of Palestinian children, the conflict in the Middle East, or the issue of human rights.
