Education Ministry announces new curriculum on Mizrahi Jewry
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Education Ministry announces Monday it will include new content on the history of Jews from Muslim lands in the history curriculum of the 2016-17 school year.
The decision follows a report by a government-established committee headed by poet and Israel Prize laureate Erez Biton that urged greater awareness and education about Mizrahi and Sephardi Jewish communities in Israel’s schools and public spaces.
The new curriculum will also include a larger focus on Mizrahi social protest movements such as the Black Panthers and the communities’ experiences of prejudice and marginalization in Israel.
