IMPACT-SE (formerly CMIP) focuses on the research of school
textbooks, teachers' guides, and syllabi used worldwide--particularly
in the Middle
East--to find out whether the younger generations are being
educated to accept "the others," i.e. their neighbors, the
minorities in their midst, and even their enemies, and to
solve conflicts
with them through negotiation and compromise, rather than being
incited to rejection, hatred and violence.
IMPACT-SE has published a dozen reports to-date on: Egypt;
Iran; Israel;
the Palestinian Authority and
Hamas in the Palestinian Territories;
Saudi
Arabia; Syria;
and Tunisia. All reports
are written according to IMPACT-SE's unique methodology. |

of Education, the Tunisian schoolbooks, in stark contrast
with most Middle Eastern curricula, emphasize the importance
of tolerance, peace and dialog with the “other,”
equality between all human groups, openness toward the
“other” and its culture (that is, the West),
use of religion for universal rapprochement, and restriction
of the ideals of (militant) jihad and martyrdom to historical
events. Read more...

Palestinian
Schoolbooks: An Updated Conclusion
Dr. Arnon Groiss, October 2009
IMPACT-SE has studied the Palestinian Authority schoolbooks
used in the current school year (2009-2010), and has
come to the conclusion that although positive changes
have occurred in the books during the last two years,
they still do not amount to forming a clear departure
from the negative fundamentals in PA schoolbooks regarding
the attitude to the Jewish and Israeli “other”
and to peaceful resolution of the Middle Eastern conflict.
