On the 24th of Nov the Wadi Ara tour was held in Kefar Kara at the special Hand in Hand School.
This school is a revolutionary vision towards Israeli education; it represents a bilingual school where Jewish and Arab children learn todether, helping in this way their families and communities live together.
The school target is to educate human values and to respect each other.
- peace, real life of sharing daily life
- in the 7th grade there are no jewish students
- Hussam Abu Baker (Arab) and Tal Kaufman (jewish) – the school principals
- The school has a good challenge -> how to educate jewish pupils to know Arabic language and the opposite.
- Sharing community values -> relations among jewish and Arabic families
- The school is the biggest influence upon community/ society in the country
- This is the only school where Jewish students study in an Arabic town.
This type of Hand in Hand School has other 3 branches in Galil, Ber’Sheva and in Jerusalem.
After the 2nd Intifada (2000) jewish prefer not to come hereIn January the registration of this school is opened and the school has its market done also in the close area of jewish communities.
Each class in this school has two teachers (one jewish and another one arab).
The total number of students who are studying here is 120 arab pupils and only 80 jewish pupils.
The way of teaching is different and focuses on subjects like history, civil rights, and Arabic language for jewish students.
The main issue of this school marketing is presented through tolerance and dialogue, which can be seen through the children drawings and some carpet hanged on the wall.
Here can be seen friendships between children and even among families.
Arab kids know more Hebrew that the Arabic language spoken by jewish kids in this school.
The type of the families who use to bring their children at this kind of school are middle class and usually the education is for a good education.
In Kefar Kara there are no other schools ( like democratic, artistic or science ), therefore the Arabic children usually come at this school mostly.
Here can be seen a political reason and different relations between the minority and the majority. Jewish people have more options where to go and study.
"A major problem taken into consideration is the assimilation", says Dr. Husaam.
