Abstract
Palestinian Arabs in Israel recounts the difficulties of maintaining identity and culture within a mainstream school system that emphasizes values and education of the national community to the exclusion of the perspectives, worldviews and identity formation of the indigenous community. The state-sponsored education system for Palestinian Arabs in Israel has never been treated as an independent or complete structure; and neither is it viewed as forming a legitimate component of the national education system. Indigenous Palestinians do not have aoutonomous control over their school system, and do not hold any of the key decision and policy-making position in Israeli society in general.
