Jerusalem schools have shut down following a dispute over Israel’s implementation of a new education curriculum and a ban on certain teachers from working, escalating tensions in the city’s education system. The move comes amid broader concerns over academic restrictions and political influence in schools, with educators and parents protesting the changes. Authorities have defended the curriculum as necessary for national standards, but critics argue it undermines educational autonomy. The strike highlights deep divisions over how education should be governed in the region.
