@iamharaldur It’s not tuition. It’s a registration fee and while it’s classified as such it’s not eligible for student loans. If they decided to call it tuition, sure they couldn’t claim that Unis are tuition free, but it would make it easier for students to cover it
America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
An assault on children.
An assault on education.
A sad day in occupied East Jerusalem.
This morning, heavily armed Israeli Forces entered three @UNRWA schools in Shu’fat Camp in occupied East Jerusalem, forcing 550+ girls & boys who were in classrooms out of their schools.
One UNRWA staff member was detained.
As a result, UNRWA was forced to evacuate all children across the six schools it runs in East Jerusalem.
Now, nearly 800 girls & boys - some as young as 6 years old- are left in shock and trauma.
Storming schools & forcing them shut is a blatant disregard of international law.
These schools are inviolable premises of the United Nations.
By enforcing closure orders issued last month, the Israeli authorities are denying Palestinian children their basic right to learn.
UNRWA schools must continue to be open to safeguard an entire generation of children.
