Report No. 3:
The Palestinian Authority School Textbooks For The Year 2000

Until the academic year 2000-2001 the schoolbooks used by the Palestinian Authority [PA] were primarily Jordanian and Egyptian books that were republished by the PA. In September 2000 the PA Ministry of Education issued 14 new textbooks for grades 1 and 6, written by "The Center for Developing the Palestinian Curricula", a PA committee backed by European funding. The Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace [CMIP] has reviewed these first Palestinian produced school textbooks and the following are CMIP findings.

Report No. 4:
Anti-Semitism in the Textbooks of the Palestinian Authority and Syria

The school textbooks of the Palestinian Authority [PA] and Syrian were selected for this comparative study because the PA and Syrian are at different stages of relations with Israel. Israel and the PA have signed numerous agreements, while progressing to the advanced stages of a peace process, while Syria is at the initial stages of negotiations. The objective of the research is to determine to what extent the peace process has influenced the level of anti-Semitism in education.

This report is part of CMIP's comprehensive examination of Middle Eastern school books to determine the extent education has been responsive to the ongoing peace processes between Israel and her Arab neighbors. This study reviewed 360 Israeli schoolbooks, from six disciplines, that were used in three different educational streams of the Israeli school system in the school year, 1999 - 2000.

Jews, Zionism and Israel in Syrian Textbooks

Peace has become Syria's declared strategic choice since the Madrid Conference of 1991. The present survey, initiated by the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace (CMIP), has undertaken to determine the extent to which the idea of peace with Israel has become part of Syria's official curriculum. Sixty-eight textbooks for grades 1-12 in various subjects, all having been part of the Syrian curriculum during the year 2000, were examined within this survey.
