Israel's Christian schools demand equality with Jewish schools
Christian schools in Israel do not receive the same financial support as their Jewish counterparts, burdening parents with higher tuition costs.
Students graduating from church-run schools in the Holy Land are among the best performing and successful. Some of these educational institutions recently received worldwide visibility with the canonization of two Palestinian nuns whose selfless efforts were instrumental in raising the level of education in what is now Palestine and Israel.
Christian schools in Israel, however, are facing severe financial difficulties, leading to an unprecedented demonstration in Jerusalem on May 27.
