Education revolution: Jewish students to study Mohammed, Arab pupils to learn about Herzl - Haaretz - Israel News
Description
In order to advance co-existence, each of the sectors -- Jewish and Arab -- must be taught about the other's culture, history, beliefs and heritage, from pre-school to grade 12. Instruction hours should likewise be devoted to learning the "narrative of the other side." These are the conclusions of the public committee established to investigate this issue, and Education Minister Yuli Tamir has adopted its conclusions.

      Thanks Howard for this wonderful article; beautiful and inspiring. Just a quote:

      According to the committee's recommendations, the education system must nurture the "recognition of the fundamental democratic values of equality and social justice, particularly with respect to social minorities, and should instill critical thinking skills and promote openness and tolerance." It should similarly "develop dialogue skills between the sides and reduce negative stereotypes and prejudices." The committee determined that these goals will be achieved by each side learning about the other's "culture, society, history, beliefs, heritage, language, and collective narrative in the context of granting respect and legitimacy to that narrative, without necessarily agreeing with it."

      Dialogue, learning and change. We should all support this kind of initiative.

      Could you please try to get the Committee's Recomendations in full?.
