“Six more public elementary schools in the former Jordanian sector of Jerusalem were quietly opened this week by the Israeli education authorities. This brought to 22 the number now holding classes. Before the Arab-Israeli fighting in June there were 26 elementary schools and two high schools.”

Context added by this archive
