The Palestinian Authority Training Ministry has criticized Hamas’ new college curriculum, with the Authority’s officials say Hamas is deepening the many years-extended political divide in between Israel by introducing new militaristic textbooks to middle colleges underneath its management in the Gaza Strip. Paradoxically, the Palestinian Authority looks to get little problem with the concepts and language in the curriculum — including Jihad and armed resistance — and far more with the bureaucracy of the curriculum’s development and implementation.
Hamas’s Training Ministry is an independent body primarily based in Ramallah. It transformed a topic referred to as patriotic schooling taught in grades eight-10 at the start off of the 2013 school 12 months and introduced new college books highlighting the Palestinian armed struggle with Israel, writes Elhanan Miller of Instances of Israel.
Professor Jamal Abu-Hashem, head of the committee that wrote the new school books, stated patriotic training is made to produce the patriotic tendencies in the hearts of the students and make them prouder to belong to their nation.
The PA’s problem with Hamas’s textbooks is not the use of terms such as “jihad” or “resistance,” Jihad Zakarneh, director general of the Training Ministry, advised Qatari news channel Al-Jazeera. School curricula, he mentioned, were meant to “defend the people’s proper.” Rather, he stressed, the PA took situation with Hamas acting unilaterally in altering the curriculum taught in Gaza’s governmental college.
“No adjust must be made in one particular element of the nation unless of course it is by way of a specialist committee that can judge the curriculum wants professionally and objectively,” Zakarneh explained.
The new textbooks, authored by Abu-Hashem and his team, consist of chapters about all Palestinian factions including Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The new books highlight Palestinian resistance by way of current occasions in Gaza’s history such as Operation Pillar of Defense of November 2012.
In an eighth-grade guide, a chapter titled “The Palestinian Liberation Project” includes amid its goals the strengthening of faith and enjoy of resistance as a implies to regain rights and uniting efforts to liberate all of Palestine. The books also include pictures of armed masked Hamas operatives and locally produced rockets.
“Enriching the curriculum with material relating to the Palestinian rules increases the pupils’ awareness to the regional danger posed by the Zionist venture. It credits the role of the Palestinian individuals and its leaders in resistance and liberation,” Abu-Hashem told Hamas’s Training Ministry site in September.
The curriculum alterations had been made as a result of a new education law drafted in April. In accordance to Report five of the law, the position of Gaza’s education technique is to “prepare students to develop a patriotic personality and adhere to the Palestinian, Arab and Islamic culture. [The education technique] will foster in the pupil faith in God and pride in his religion and his homeland Palestine, inside its historic borders.”
The law prohibits personal colleges and internationally run colleges from acquiring donations or help aimed at normalization with what it sees as ‘Zionist occupation’ or ‘propagating any Zionist action.’
The curriculum alter had nothing at all to do with the political divide in between Gaza and the West Financial institution, and almost everything to do with asserting the Palestinians’ correct to their land, according to Mutasim Al-Binawi, a spokesman for the Hamas government in Gaza.
The only purpose textbooks in the PA are not amended, he additional, is that they are subjected to Israeli censorship. “We know there are tremendous pressures positioned on our brothers in the West Financial institution by the Israeli occupation with regards to adjustments in curricula unlike Gaza which enjoys much more freedom in this regard,” Al-Binawi informed Al-Jazeera.
