The construction of a new high school, a stone’s throw away from the separation fence along the Green Line, is a dream come true for Moujahed Abu al-Tin. The 16-year-old who can't hear or speak and hails from the village of Kafr Qaddum in the West Bank had long given up hope of continuing his education beyond elementary school.
There are no high schools for the hearing-impaired in the West Bank, so most students turn to vocational training instead.
