Tearing the Social Fabric of East Jerusalem: Israel's Wall and Palestinian Education. Palestinian Ministry of State for Jerusalem Affairs, 2006.

A report by the Palestinian Ministry of State for Jerusalem Affairs on the effect of Israel's Separation Wall on the education of Palestinian children of Jerusalem residents. The report reveals how children caught on the West Bank side of the Wall are forced to cross Qalandya checkpoint everyday, while those on the Jerusalem side of the Wall are forced to leave their schools in Ramallah as they risk losing their Jerusalem identity cards otherwise. Conversely, many Palestinian teachers are no longer issued the permits to teach in East Jerusalem schools, creating a shortage of teachers in East Jerusalem while the student population is rising.
