The strike comes in protest against several arbitrary measures taken by the Israeli municipality against students. The Central Parents' Committee of Jabal al-Mukaber Schools said the strike would continue until the Israeli municipality addresses their legitimate demands, which include relocating the students of the Al-Sawahra Secondary School for Boys to the Ibn al-Haytham Preparatory School building in the Wadi al-Hummus area, and relocating the students of the Ibn al-Haytham Preparatory School to the new building in the Al-Jaabis neighborhood and providing the students with transportation. Among their demands is also the presentation of a future action plan to build new educational institutions and the closure of rented buildings that do not meet the required standards. The strike highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Palestinian students and parents in Jerusalem due to the racist Israeli policies. It represents a collective effort to secure better educational facilities and transportation for the students, aiming to ensure their right to quality education despite the challenging circumstances.
