Video Transcript
Our children they go to mainstream school but they don’t have Arabic in Mainstream school offered in the timetable. So people start thinking ‘why don’t we don’t do it on Saturdays and Sundays, so that our children don’t loose their mother tongue, they don’t loose their culture, they don’t loose the way they that they can communicate with back home?’
So from here you can see now that schools for Arabic are getting more and more – there are an increasing number of these schools.
We have about 150 students, boys and girls, not all are Palestinians, we have [pupils] from different nationalities. And we have different levels, from nursery up to A level – in this school we’re offering GCSE and A level. We are not a centre of the examination, we can train the student and they can enter the exam through their mainstream school.
