CWN - Arab students in Israel went on strike on September 7, in an expression of support for the country’s Christian schools.
The 400,000 striking students joined Church leaders in a protest against deep 45% cuts in government support for Christian schools. The budget cuts imperil the future of the Christian schools, which serve about 30,000 students but educate a disproportionate number of Israel’s top Arab scholars.
