The Palestine National Council (PNC) called on the European Parliament to reverse its decision regarding binding the financial aid provided to UNRWA to revise some teaching materials in its schoolbooks, which are alleged to be promoting “hateful and incitement to violence”. The Council affirmed that the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) at the United Nations confirmed that the Palestinian curriculum taught by UNRWA is free of these accusations. The Council additionally pointed to UN reports that confirmed the curriculum compatibility with UNESCO’s standards of peace and tolerance in education. For further details, click here.
