Ethiopian students at the Zionist Orthodox boarding school in the Kfar Hasidim agricultural Youth Village near Haifa are being segregated, the Jerusalem Post reported based on an Army Radio exposé.
The Ethiopian students are put into a separate Ethiopian-only learning track with Ethiopian-only classes.
“It is something we have become used to; that those students who are considered the best, the Israelis, receive the best education. [We don’t,]” an Ethiopian student at the school told the station.
The CEO of the Israeli Association for Ethiopian Jews, Ziva Mekone-Degu reportedly said she was "outraged" by the Army Radio report because the IAEJ contacted the school and the Ministry of Education about the segregation at the beginning of this school year and was told in response that the segregation had been ended.
