Gaza’s education ministry bans unauthorized UNRWA curriculums

The Palestinian ministry of education has informed director of UNRWA operations in Gaza Robert Turner of its decision to halt the teaching of the agency’s unauthorized curriculums in its schools.

This came during a meeting between education minister Osama al-Muzaini and Turner in Gaza.

Muzaini confirmed his Ministry’s approval to form a joint committee to discuss the proposed books, saying that he does not mind making book in coordination between his ministry the UNRWA , provided that these book must take into account the Palestinian national values and norms.

The education ministry warned the agency of serious consequences if it continues to use these unlicensed books.

Turner, in turn, pledges to discuss the issue with other UNRWA officials within one week as it was set by the ministry.
