Status of Human Rights in Palestine According to the latest results issued by the MOHE, the total rate of enrollment in KG1 and KG2 together dropped as it recorded 56.1% in 2016. It is clear that the rate of enrollment in public kindergarten classes is very low since the government failed to adequately provide this type of public education system which is set forth in Article 6 of the Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017 concerning Public Education. The curricula in general receive considerable criticism. The curriculum in Palestine still needs to introduce the principles of human rights in the textbooks and to emphasize such principles in terms of their values, in a clear, smooth, and significant manner, and to neutralize the content which contravenes the human rights, or which provides a stereotyped image of women in the textbooks. Further, it is required to ensure complete consistency, harmony, and coherence between the textbooks of all education stages, in the aspect related to teaching of human rights in the curriculum. 40 The rate of students with disabilities included in the public schools does not exceed one percent of the total number of students. The statistical data issued by the MOHE for the academic year 2016/2017 showed that the number of students with disabilities who are enrolled in the public schools reached 8074 students; 5350 in the West Bank and 2724 in Gaza Strip. The results also indicated that the vocational education sectors10 do not include any students with disabilities. ICHR received 15 complaints against a number of institutions and ministries, including alleged violations of the right to education, including 13 complaints in the West Bank and 2 complaints in Gaza Strip. The complaints were about the shortage of teachers capable of dealing with students with disabilities, requests to furnish the students who live in remote areas with transportation and to provide transportation for the students with disabilities, requests for exemption from school fees, and complaints pertaining to academic freedoms. The replies received by ICHR from the MOHE regarding accountability of the officials for violating the right to education concluded that about 116 investigation committees were formed to investigate personnel accused 10 MOHE.
