Hundreds of Asylum Seekers in Tel Aviv File Petition Against School Segregation

Hundreds of asylum seekers filed a petition in the Tel Aviv District Court against the Tel Aviv-Jaffa municipality’s practice of separating children of foreigners from children of Israelis in the city’s schools.

The separation, which was reported in a Haaretz investigation in December, revealed that 91.5 percent of the asylum seekers’ children study in schools without a single Israeli pupil.
