Hundreds of Asylum Seekers in Tel Aviv File Petition Against School Segregation
91.5 percent of the children of asylum seekers in Tel Aviv study in schools without a single Israeli child, Haaretz reported.
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.
